Single Molecule Biophysics Journal Club

1 unit

Molecular motors in the cell harness chemical energy to generate mechanical work in a host of processes including cell motility, DNA replication and repair, cell division, transcriptional regulation, and intracellular transport. The purpose of this course is to discuss recent advances in the field of molecular motors. Special emphasis will be placed on understanding and critically evaluating single molecule studies. The course will consist of both journal club presentations and small group discussions.
