BCH2333/2733: Peptide, Protein Structure and Folding

Review Session Details
  • Review Session is taught by Dr. Akbar and will cover the following topics + problem solving:
  • Review amino acid side chain properties (i.e., pKa, charges, stereochemistry)
  • Dihedral angles for secondary structure (i.e., phi and psi)
  • Newman Projections for psi/phi angels
  • Drawing Helical wheels
  • Ramachandran plot
  • Properties of helices
  • Properties of Beta-sheets
  • Supersecondary structures and motifs
  • Levinthal’s Paradox
  • Protein folding thermodynamics 
  • Protein folding pathways
  • Quaternary structure (i.e. C2, C3, D2, D3 etc.)
  • Review Session will include problem solving from past Midterm questions.
  • All registered students will receive a "Midterm Package #2 and #3" that includes multiple Midterms/Quizes related to the above topics from previous years given by uOttawa Professors.
