This course is the upper-division requirement for BMB majors and focuses on further development of communication skills you will need regardless of your career path after graduation. To be an effective scientific communicator, you need to continue to hone your skills in three dimensions: message (content), presenter (speaker/writer), and audience (reader/listener). Thus, each section of this course will provide support for your continued improvement as a writer/speaker (presenter) and as a reader/listener (audience) using a specific topic (content) in biochemistry and molecular biology.

An integrated presentation of the biochemistry and molecular biology of cellular interactions. Emphasis on accounting for complex cellular processes in terms of protein structure and regulation of gene expression. Topics include gene structures and techniques for studying them; replication; control of gene expression; post-translational processing; membrane associated energetics; behavior of transport systems; mechanisms of signal transduction; and interactions of cells with extracellular matrix and with other cells.

Structure and function of biological molecules, especially proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. Important concepts include bioenergetics, biological catalysis, and metabolic pathways as interacting regulated systems.
