Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic DNA replication, transcription and translation processes covered in detail. DNA repair mechanisms, chromosome structure, regulation of transcriptional events, and post-transcriptional and post-translational modification processes are also covered in conjunction with replication, transcription and translation. Three one-hour lectures per week. Must be taken concurrently with BIO 461 - Molecular Biology Laboratory. Prerequisites: BIO 124, 125, 200, 202, CHEM 110, 111, 112, 113, 342, 343.

3.00 Credits
This course will introduce the student to the biochemical and molecular mechanisms by which microorganisms cause disease. Emphasis will be on bacteria and paradigms of bacterial-host interactions. mechanisms between the host and its immune response and microbial factors which promote colonization and invasion. Finally, methods of studying bacterial patho- genesis will be discussed. Three lectures per week. Enroll- ment in this course is limited to students in the Micro- biology Track. However, other biology students may take this course upon approval by the coordinator of Microbiology Prerequisites: BIO 325

4.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the study of bacterial genetics. Basic topics include DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis and the mechanisms bacteria use to regulate these processes. Also, the molecular and biochem- ical basis of mutation and gene transfer will be studied. Bacteriophase genetics will be covered in order to under- stand their importance in molecular genetics, biochemistry and biotechnology. Selected laboratory exercises will be integrated with the lecture throughout the semester. Enroll- ment in this course is limited to students in the Micro- Biology Track. However, other biology students may take this course upon approval by the coordinator of Micro- biology Track. Prerequisites: BIO 325,460, and acceptance into the Microbiology Track.
