BIOL 4332 - RNA Structure and Catalysis

Institution:

The University of Texas at Dallas

Subject:

Description:

A survey of the determinants of RNA secondary and tertiary structure and their role in RNA processing and catalysis. The mechanisms of posttranscriptional RNA processing including base modifications, mRNA capping and poly A addition, 5' and 3' end maturation, intron excision, and RNA editing will be covered as well as the mechanisms of RNA catalysis. The mechanisms of large ribozymes such as Group I and Group II introns and RNAase of P RNA will be contrasted to the mechanisms of small ribozymes such as hairpins and hammerheads. Prerequisites: BIOL 3301, BIOL 3302, and BIOL/CHEM 3361 or their equivalents, or the written consent of the instructor. (3-0) T
