Review Session Details
- Review primary DNA structure (i.e. base tautomerization, classic base pair H-bonding, c2/c3 endo sugar rings)
- Understand the inter- and intramolecular interaction in a DNA double helix
- Analyse and understand DNA secondary structures (i.e. DNA helices: A, B, and Z)
- Remembering Chargaff's Rule
- Understand properties of triple DNA helices (H-DNA)
- Palindromes and formation of hairpins and
- DNA denaturation and melting curves
- Types of lipids and their structures
- Lipid membrane properties (i.e. fluidity, lateral and transverse diffusion, and cholesterol)
- Fatty acid nomenclature
- Understanding general ligand binding (i.e. formulate equation and associate it to Kd)
- Learn to manipulate the simple Kd equation into complex ones
- Graphically understand how protein-ligand system is interpreted
- Cooperativity in ligand binding (i.e. Hill plot)
- Assess the two types of cooperativity models (MWC vs. KNF model)
- Apply protein-ligand cooperativity to oxygen transport in the body
