CHE 430 - Enzyme Engineering (= BIO 395)

The capability of enzymes to catalyze selective organic reactions is both an essential biological phenomenon and an opportunity for new, sustainable approaches to synthetic chemistry.  This multidisciplinary course will investigate classic and cutting-edge approaches to re-engineering natural enzymes and organisms that create suitable catalysts for abiological reactions and new metabolic pathways. 

Satiafies Chemistry major requirement, emphasis in Biochemistry.
