Welcome to our Offer Holder page for Biochemistry. Here you will find information about our event, and also about life at UCL.
Congratulations on receiving an offer to study at UCL! Details of your offer should now be available on UCAS and a copy of your offer letter is also available on your UCL Applicant Portal page. We would like to invite you to our virtual Biosciences post-offer session, where you will be able to meet the Biochemistry Admission Tutor, and current students to get a feel for what it will be like to study at UCL.
Image: Overview of SARS-CoV-2 S-protein:human ACE2 complex and interface. (a) SARS-CoV-2 S-protein (light blue, purple) showing the receptor binding domain (RBD) motif (purple) at the interface with ACE2 (tan). (b) residues in the SARS-CoV-2 S-protein:human ACE2 complex interface. Key RBD interface residues are shown (purple) with a subset of ACE2 contact residues that are directly in contact with Spike (red) or important for the binding as they influence the changes that occur on binding (blue).
