BIOL 478-5 Biochem Mech of Cell Pro-REC Sina Ghaemmaghami
This interactive course explores the molecular mechanisms of important cellular processes. Topics include DNA replication, RNA processing, translation, protein folding, protein degradation, protein transport and metabolism. Foundational experiments that have led to our current understanding of these processes will be explored through readings and discussions of original scientific papers. Co-registration with a 278 recitation is required. Prerequisites: BIO 190/198, BIO 250L, and CHM 204
