CHM 555 - Signal Transduction

(3 credits)

Literature-based consideration of biochemical communication that occurs when extracellular signals interact with cell receptors and activate complex intracellular signaling pathways. Detailed analysis of molecular interactions (protein-protein and protein- DNA) that convert the external signal to changes in cellular gene expression. Emerging experimental techniques will be emphasized.
