MB&B 208
Fall 2011
| Section:
01
|
| Certificates: Informatics and Modeling, Molecular Biophysics |
This course is a comprehensive survey of the molecules and molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes. It will focus on the cornerstone biological processes of genome replication, gene expression, and protein function. The major biomacromolecules--DNA, RNA, and proteins-will be analyzed to emphasize the principles that define their structure and function. We will also consider how these components interact in larger networks within cells to permit processing of external and internal information during development and discuss how these processes become perturbed in disease states. |
|
Essential Capabilities:
Interpretation, Quantitative Reasoning
Students in the course will examine biological and chemical data and related models in order to analyze and understand complex biological processes.
