Description
This course, Structural materials in cells, looks at the structure of cells and how proteins are used by both animals and plants to create a framework for cellular growth. You will also learn how a material as fine as spider silk can exceed the strength of steel.
Course learning outcomes
After studying this course, you should be able to:
- Describe and give examples of how self-assembly enables construction ‘from the bottom up’ in natural materials
- Explain what is meant by primary and higher-order structure in proteins and give examples
- Give examples of the range of functions carried out by proteins within cells
- Describe how a combination of strong and weak bonding within biopolymers and lipids is used to build hierarchical structures with common structural elements and finely tuned properties, including calculations where appropriate
- Explain how both positive and negative design principles must be applied to the design of molecular devices and comment on the challenges involved in attempting such design.
