Course Description:
This course combines lecture, discussion, and writing assignments with a focus on membrane biology and membrane structure of eukaryotic cells, beginning with molecular biology and branching outward to diseases that involve or affect membrane structure. Course topics will include membrane lipids and their structure, membrane proteins and their structures, differences in different types of membranes, and human and/or animal diseases that involve or affect membranes. Students will engage with these topics by reading current scientific literature, small group and class discussions, presentation of papers to peers, and writing. This course fulfills the Group IV requirement for the Biology major. |
