Courses
BIOCH 430 - Biochemistry of Eukaryotic Gene Expression
This course focuses on the biochemical mechanisms underlying the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. The focus will be on the regulation of gene expression at the levels of transcription, post-transcriptional processing, and translation. The course will specifically address biochemical and structural mechanisms underlying gene regulation, as well as biochemical experimental methods that can be used to probe these activities. Prerequisites: BIOCH 320 and BIOCH 330, both with a minimum grade of C+ or consent of the Department. This course is intended for students in Honors, Specialization and Majors in Biochemistry. Students in other programs may be admitted subject to availability and with the consent of the Department. Graduate students may not register for credit (see BIOCH 530).

Prerequisites: BIOCH 320 and BIOCH 330 with a minimum grade of C+ or consent of Department. Lectures are the same as for BIOCH 430, but with additional assignments and evaluation appropriate to graduate studies. Students in other programs may be admitted subject to availability and with the consent of the Department. This course may not be taken for credit if credit has already been obtained in BIOCH 430.
