RNA Biochemistry

4 credits

This course discusses RNA structure and function, as well as biological pathways involving RNA-centered complexes. Emphasis will be placed on catalytic RNA mechanisms, pre-mRNA splicing, noncoding RNA biology, building blocks of RNA structure, and genome editing using RNA-protein complexes. Prerequisites: BIMM 100 or CHEM 114C and CHEM 40C, 40CH, or 41C.
