This unit represents one half of a Biochemistry major—the cellular and metabolic component. It builds on what is taught at Level 2 in BIOC2201 Biochemistry of the Cell and BIOC2202 Biochemical Regulation of Cell Function, and covers the topics of protein targeting, signal transduction and the life cycle of cells—growth, differentiation, cancer and cell death. Mechanism of metabolic regulation, the role of enzymes and energy generation (which explains how cells cope with environmental changes and stress) complete the unit. <br/><br/>The unit does not aim to be comprehensive in its coverage, but to select areas in these fields that are currently making an impact on plant and biomedical... -- Course Website
