Molecular Structure of Biological Materials: Course Description
Students in this free OpenCourseWare from MIT examine the basic molecular structure of a variety of biological materials, including bioadhesives, bones, cellulose, collagen fibers and gels, fur, glues, hair, shells, silk, teeth and wool. They study the history of biological materials, including how they've shaped human activity, transformed civilization. Course materials explore emerging biological materials and their projected impact on society. To be prepared for this course, undergraduate and graduate students should have completed initial studies in biological chemistry or general biochemistry. As part of the MIT program in Biological Engineering, this course is led by Dr. Shuguang Zhang. Portuguese and Spanish translations are available.
A list of readings, lecture notes, a sample research proposal and sample take-home exams and answers are available for free online. If you're interested in taking this course, visit the Molecular Structure of Biological Materials course page.
