This unit represents one half of a Biochemistry major—the molecular and structural component. It builds on what is taught at Level 2 in BIOC2201 Biochemistry of the Cell, BIOC2202 Biochemical Regulation of Cell Function and SCIE2225 Molecular Biology, and addresses cellular function from the perspective of the cellular macromolecules—DNA, RNA and protein. The relationship between structure and function is emphasised throughout the unit. Accordingly, how transcription and differential gene expression are accomplished in terms of the structure of DNA and RNA is addressed. How protein structure is studied, the established structural features of simple and complex proteins and how these... -- Course Website
