Description
"A study of the synthesis, localization, structure, and function of biomolecules. Emphasis is placed on cell regulatory mechanisms controlling signal transduction and gene expression. Topics vary to reflect current issues in molecular biology such as gene therapy, restriction fragment length plymorphism analysis, loss of cell cycle regulation in tumorigenesis and aging, and molecular systematics. Models to explain pathophysiological problems are examined. Prerequisite: BIOL 341, CHEM 248, CHEM 144 or 341 MATH 148."
