Description:

PQ: General chemistry, organic chemistry, and BIOS 20200. This course is devoted to RNA biochemistry and molecular biology and to RNA-protein interactions with special emphasis on ribosome structure and protein biosynthesis. Topics include the biochemistry of protein synthesis (i.e., the translation reactions such as initiation, elongation, and termination); tRNA structure and identity elements; rRNA (i.e., structure, processing, regulation of synthesis, function, and evolution); ribosomal proteins (i.e., structure, function, gene organization, regulation of synthesis); ribosome assembly; ribosome structure from immuno-electron microscopy, neutron scattering, and X-ray defraction; RNA (i.e., protein interactions including tRNA-aminoacyl-tRNA syntase, rRNA-ribosomal proteins, and other examples); and regulation and translation.
