Introduction:
In this 5-week course, we will examine the role of membranes in signal transduction and metabolic control at a more advanced level than the introductory courses, with a focus on regulation. Thus, students are expected to have performed well in an introductory course in Biochemistry. Courses such as BCH 4024, CHM 4207, CHM 3218, BCH 3025 or GMS 6001 are considered appropriate introductory courses.
The text, "Biochemistry" by Voet and Voet (2004 edition), will serve as a general reference. For those interested in human metabolism, "Metabolic Regulation: A Human Perspective" by K.N.Frayn is optional. Outside reading in primary journals, reviews and special monographs will be assigned when appropriate. Extensive use will be made of handouts throughout the course.
Each lecture title represents the general area to be covered. Brief reviews of the relevant pathways will be given but the lectures will focus on selected topics related to enzyme action; allosteric regulation and its relevance to enzyme mechanism and metabolic function; and/or genetic regulation of an enzyme or group of enzymes in a related pathway. |
