Course Information

BioC 4332 covers fundamental molecular biology and signal transduction. The course begins with the molecules and processes by which cells store, replicate, repair and express genetic information in the form of DNA, RNA and proteins. The latter part of the course describes regulatory processes that involve control of gene expression and mechanisms of signal transduction. The emphasis in the course is on the biochemical basis of gene function and biological regulatory processes. This course is designed for upper division undergraduates in the biological sciences, as well as beginning graduate students in other biological programs.
