Translation, Protein Folding and Post-Translational Modification

1 credits · Graduate Programs

Covers cellular protein synthesis, modification and degradation. Topics include the molecular basis of mRNA translation, and its regulation at different stages, how proteins are folded and may be modified post-translationally by enzymatic and non-enzymatic means, regulation of proteostasis and protein degradation. Emerging technologies in the study of protein synthesis and post-translational modifications at a molecular level are reviewed. Prerequisite(s): Consent of the course co-ordinator. Preference will be given to those in the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology graduate program.
