Here are the remaining lecture slides for weeks 14-16. It's hard to believe the semester has gone by so quickly! The final slide of the last lecture contains details about the final exam, which will be Tuesday, December 9 from 12:00 to 3:00 pm in our normal lecture room.

  • lec14-1.pdf - Lecture 14-1 (Control of Enzyme Kinetics)
  • lec15-1.pdf - Lecture 15-2 (Protein Folding Kinetics and Thermodynamics)
  • lec16-1.pdf - Lecture 16-1 (Single Molecule Kinetics)

Exam Date Change

Submitted by nfitzkee on

By popular demand, please note that Exam 3 has been moved from 11/18 to 11/20. All other due dates (assignments, etc.) remain the same, and the lecture material planned for Thursday will be taught on Tuesday instead.

Good luck!

Week 9 Materials

Submitted by nfitzkee on

Below are the lecture notes and assignment handout for this week. Remember that last week's assignment will be due at 4:30 PM sharp on Friday. I will be distributing solutions at that time, and no late assignments will be accepted. This is in preparation for next weeks exam, so that you have solutions to examine while you prepare. Your graded assignments will be available Monday morning.
