BIOS 211
Experimental Cell & Mol Biosci
Introduction to scientific method, principles of experimental design, selected research strategies, record keeping, and technical communication as related to research in cellular and molecular biosciences. The prereq BIOS 201 may be taken concurrently with BIOS 211. Registration restricted to Biosciences majors for sections 001, 002, 003, 004, and 005. BCB minors can register for sections 007, 008, 009, 010, and 011, or with instructor permission.
BIOS 301
Biochemistry I
The second in an integrated sequence of three courses (BIOS 201, 301, 302). Structure and function of proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids; enzyme kinetics; glycolysis, aerobic metabolism, and energy coupling.
BIOS 341
Cell Biology
Molecular mechanisms of eukaryotic cell function. Structure, function, and biogenesis of all subcellular organelles. Cell-cell communication, cytoskeleton assembly and function, cell cycle control, and cell-cell adhesions. Emphasis will be on cytoplasmic events; molecular studies of transcription are taught in BIOS 302 and BIOS 344.
