MCB 156 - Structural Biology of the Flow of Information in the Cell

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

A journey that follows the path taken by an extra-cellular signal as it reaches a cell, traverses the plasma membrane, navigates the cytoplasm, and finally manifests its effect upon the genome. Through the reading and discussion of primary research literature, the course highlights how structural biology has helped develop a detailed picture of each step in the pathway. The interplay between cellular and network biology and structural biology is also emphasized.
