BIOS 6120 - Prokaryotic Cell Biology

Bacterial structure-function relationships are examined in a biochemical context. Current and classical concepts of cell biochemistry are organized around the bacterial cell as a model for understanding energetics, synthesis of cell structures, transport, metabolism, and regulatory mechanisms. Readings will be from the literature and substantial use will be made of review articles in biochemistry and microbiology for lecture topics. One paper will be required.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: A course in biochemistry and a course in microbiology or consent of instructor.

Credits: 3 hrs.

Notes: Open to Graduate Students Only.
