Institution:

The University of Texas at Dallas

Subject:

Description:

A survey of the structural components of biomembranes and the forces that dictate membrane structure. General membrane functions, such as compartmentalization and membrane transport, are analyzed in view of the principles of membrane structure. The structure, function, and biogenesis of the membrane organelles in cells are covered in detail. Diseases whose pathology originates with biomembranes, such as cystic fibrosis and heart disease, are discussed as examples illustrating membrane structure and function. Prerequisites: BIOL 3301, BIOL 3302, and BIOL/CHEM 3361 and BIOL/CHEM 3362 or their equivalents, or the written consent of the instructor. (3-0) T
