BIOCH 623A - Special Topics in Research on Polynucleotides

1 unit (fi 4)(TWO TERM, 0-1S-0)

This course is a journal club and discussion group in which current research topics on nucleic acids, molecular and cellular biology are discussed. Specific subjects presented range from biochemistry, genetics and microbiology to developmental biology and clinical aspects of nucleic acid derived therapeutics.

BIOCH 626A - Special Topics in Protein Research

1 unit (fi 4)(TWO TERM, 0-1S-0)

Seminar course for advanced students. Detailed consideration is given to recent advances in research on protein structure and function and mechanism of enzyme action. Prerequisite: BIOCH 420 or consent of Department.

BIOCH 698 - Undergraduate Research Mentoring

1 unit (fi 2)(EITHER, 0-0-3)

A credit/no-credit course for graduate students who are actively participating in the mentorship of undergraduate students in a half term research course (e.g. BIOCH 398 and 498) in the Department of Biochemistry. Mentorship includes activities such as in lab supervision, training, and help with reports and presentations. Can be taken in any year and Spring/Summer session. Credit may be obtained more than once. Requires the submission of an initial project summary with student learning objectives, monthly progress and final reports. Prerequisite: Consent of the Department of Biochemistry.

BIOCH 425 - Proteomics

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-1/2)

An advanced course focusing on the analysis of protein function and protein-protein interactions within the context of the entire protein complement of a cell. Some aspects of protein structure as it pertains to the principles of protein-protein interactions will be covered along with genetic and biochemical methods for the analysis of protein complexes, protein interaction networks and system wide protein identification and dynamics. This course is intended for students in Honors or Specialization in Biochemistry. Students in other programs may be admitted subject to availability and with the consent of the Department. Prerequisites: BIOCH 320 and BIOCH 330 with a minimum GPA of 3.0 in these courses.

BIOCH 495 - Special Topics in Biochemistry

3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 0-3S-0)

Covers specialized topics of current interest to advanced undergraduates in Biochemistry programs. Consult the Department for details about current offerings. Prerequisites: BIOCH 310, 320 and 330, and consent of the instructor. This course is restricted to students in Honors or Specialization in Biochemistry. Credit for this course may be obtained more than once.
