The course aims to explore and understand every aspect of the structure and function of living things; a biochemical approach forms the basis for understanding the function and properties of molecules, cells, tissues and whole organisms, under normal and abnormal conditions and in response to their changing environment; examples include: Cell membrane and cell wall structure and function; intracellular trafficking of proteins and organelles; regulation of metabolism in health and disease; protein structural analysis and relationship to protein function; transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; cellular recognition and interactions; protein secretion and post-translational processing; molecular analysis of cellular stress responses; signal transduction and intracellular signalling mechanisms; macromolecular assemblies and cell function.
