MB&B208
Molecular Biology
MB&B208 SP
A comprehensive survey of the molecules and molecular
mechanisms underlying biological processes. The
biomacromolecules, DNA, RNA and proteins, will be analyzed
critically to emphasize the principles that define their
structure, function and interactions. Molecular information
from viral, procaryotic and eucaryotic systems will be
discussed with regard to topics such as DNA replication,
genome organization, gene rearrangements, transcription,
translation, regulation of gene activity, membrane
transport, cellular differentiation and tumorigenesis.
MAJOR READINGS
Lodish et al., MOLECULAR AND CELL BIOLOGY
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Two midterm exams, several
problem sets and a final.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
This course is
intended to be the final course in the normal "core
curriculum" sequence of BIOL/MBB-205, 206 and 208. It
is strongly suggested that the student have completed, or be
in the process of completing, at least one year of
chemistry. It is preferable to have taken CHEM141, 142,
251 or CHEM143, 144, 251 and to be in the process of taking
CHEM252.
