Biochemistry and Molecular Engineering

3 Credits.

This course will delve into the molecular interactions that underpin the workings of the cell. Centered around the central dogma students will be introduced to core concepts and mathematical models that regulate molecular functions and structures, metabolism, genetic regulation, enzyme kinetics, receptor-ligand and antigen-antibody specificity, protein processing and secretion, and cell functions. Recommended Background: Cell & Molecular Foundations or a strong background in molecular biology and chemistry.
