Viewing molecular models in 3D.
This course explores the fundamental molecular processes of cells using
evidence from biochemical, physiologic, and microscopic analyses.
Topics
include: logical, spatial and temporal organization and regulation of
metabolism;
formation and function of proteins, RNA and DNA; generation and
function
of cellular structures and compartments; regulation of gene expression;
organization and regulation of cell growth and division; and
cell-environment
and cell-cell interactions. Comparisons among prokaryotic and
eukaryotic
cells of diverse organisms assess the universality of these processes
and
their mechanisms.
