BIO 416 Advanced Topics in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
The molecular mechanism regulating metabolism, catabolism and the flow of genetic information in response to cellular stimuli are explored. Applications of biochemistry and molecular biology are discussed in the contexts of biotechnology, disease, and drug design. In the laboratory, students build on techniques introduced in prerequisite courses to complete bioinformatics and molecular cloning projects that culminate with the expression, purification, and functional analysis of a selected protein.
