The combination of CBMS223 with this unit provides an essential core of biochemistry and molecular biology. This unit aims to provide students with further insights into the molecular processes of the living cell, and at the same time help students to understand the complex 'language' of molecular biology. Topics include: molecular biological techniques, prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene regulation and genome organisation, bacterial and animal viruses, amino acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, vitamins and hormones, photosynthesis, and proteomics. The practical program is designed to give students a broad introduction to modern molecular biology techniques including extraction of DNA... -- Course Website
