Current topics in molecular biology, including methodology are discussed using original research papers. The objective is to critically evaluate the literature and to design experiments in molecular genetics. A general background in molecular genetics, including a knowledge of biochemistry and the properties of nucleic acids is required. Special Topics in Biochemistry. Current, important research topics in biochemistry discussed.
Topics vary yearly.
The control of rate- limiting steps in intermediary metabolism by covalent modification of enzymes and chemical messengers. Selected metabolic disorders arising from derangements in these mechanisms are discussed. Research for Ph.D. candidates. Research for Ph.D. candidates. Research for Ph.D. candidates.
