| | An Overview of Graduate Studies in Chemical Biology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Chemists are addressing problems in biochemistry, pharmacology, cell biology, structural biology, and medicine by designing and constructing small molecules as spectroscopic probes, functional congeners, and diagnostic and therapeutic agents. |
 | | The methods of molecular biology, biomimetics and genetics, in turn, are providing approaches and solutions to chemical problems, through mutagenesis to probe the mechanisms of enzymatic reactions, through the production of large quantities of pure proteins for spectroscopic and biophysical studies, and by the convenient generation of structural diversity. |
 | | The Graduate Studies in Chemical Biology is an area within the Department of Chemistry and is open to any graduate student in the department. |
