The course focuses on casting contemporary problems in systems biology and functional genomics in computational terms and providing appropriate tools and methods to solve them. Topics include genome structure and function, transcriptional regulation, and stem cell biology in particular; measurement technologies such as microarrays (expression, protein-DNA interactions, chromatin structure); statistical data analysis, predictive and causal inference, and experiment design. The emphasis is on coupling problem structures (biological questions) with appropriate computational approaches.

This contains visual material for the MC1R protein in humans, as well as visual material on the Y298C mutation in Spirit Bears. 

This course, intended for both graduate and upper level undergraduate students, will focus on understanding of the basic molecular structural principles of biological materials. It will address the molecular structures of various materials of biological origin, such as several types of collagen, silk, spider silk, wool, hair, bones, shells, protein adhesives, GFP, and self-assembling peptides. It will also address molecular design of new biological materials applying the molecular structural principles. The long-term goal of this course is to teach molecular design of new biological materials for a broad range of applications. A brief history of biological materials and its future perspective as well as its impact to the society will also be discussed. Several experts will be invited to give guest lectures.

This course focuses on the latest scientific developments and discoveries in the field of nanomechanics, the study of forces and motion on extremely tiny (10-9 m) areas of synthetic and biological materials and structures. At this level, mechanical properties are intimately related to chemistry, physics, and quantum mechanics. Most lectures will consist of a theoretical component that will then be compared to recent experimental data (case studies) in the literature. The course begins with a series of introductory lectures that describes the normal and lateral forces acting at the atomic scale. The following discussions include experimental techniques in high resolution force spectroscopy, atomistic aspects of adhesion, nanoindentation, molecular details of fracture, chemical force microscopy, elasticity of single macromolecular chains, intermolecular interactions in polymers, dynamic force spectroscopy, biomolecular bond strength measurements, and molecular motors.

In this module, students use several online databases and bioinformatics tools to study the evolutionary conservation of a protein of their choice. Students are first introduced to amino acid chemistry and to some of the theory underlying sequence comparisons. In the exercises, students:learn how amino acid side chain chemistries are reflected in the BLOSUM62 matrix used to identify conserved regions of protein sequencesuse the BLASTP algorithm to compare two homologous protein sequencesconstruct a multiple sequence alignment that compares homologous proteins from multiple speciesThis module is part of a semester-long introductory laboratory course, Investigations in Molecular Cell Biology, at Boston College. 

High School students will learn more about protein in the body and why it is essential. They will also analyze complete vs. incomplete proteins and making healthy protein choices.

in the video you can find a list of usefull tools for analize the protien sequences as

- protein alligment
- topoligy prediction

- signal peptide identification
- search of template for modelling in the PDB

and many others

This 12 session course is designed for the beginning or novice weight lifter, or for those who have experience lifting but lack proper instruction. We will provide an understanding of the biomechanics involved, muscles used for a given exercise, and program development.
