LFSC539 Molecular Biology

The Molecular Biology course provides an in-depth study of cell structure and function. It includes the fundamentals of cellular and molecular immunology, including consideration of structure, genetics, and function of immunoglobulin; t-cell receptors and major histocompatibility antigens; regulation of the immune response; and transplantation and immunological diseases. Students will also investigate the biochemical basis of modern molecular biology; structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids, and membranes; replication; transcription; translation; regulation of gene expression; and recombinant DNA. Additionally, recent advances in understanding and research methods sing both eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems will be reviewed.
