4.00 Credits
Biochemical and morphological evidence underlying current models of cell structure and function. Topics include: membrane structure/function, subcellular compartmentalization, sorting and transport, cytoskelaton, motility, signaling, mitosis and cell cycle, and the cellular basis of disease. The format includes faculty lectures, current scientific literature discussion, and student presentations. Course meets with BIOL 4260. Students enrolled in BIOL 6260 willl have additional paper assignments and in-class presentations. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: BIOL 2120 and BIOL 4760 (or equivalent) or permission from instructor. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4

This studio course covers concepts and methods related to information processing in biological systems. Concepts covered include homology, identity, and similarity; mechanisms and measures of molecular evolution; introduction to databases (e.g., GenBank, PDB); search algorithms (BLAST and FASTA); pairwise sequence alignment using dynamic programming (Gap, BestFit); progressive methods for multiple alignment (Pileup, ClustalW); and special topics in sequence analysis. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: BIOL 1010, college-level math, or permission of the instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
This studio course covers use of homology to extract information about structure and function from amino acid sequences. Concepts covered include structural homology, structural motifs and databases, homology modeling of macromolecules, energy minimization and relaxation, water considerations, molecular docking and molecular dynamics. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: BIOL 6410 and BIOL 4760 or BCBP 4760 or CHEM 4760 or equivalent, or permission of instructor. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
1.00 Credits
An intensive course designed to provide instruction and stimulate discussion on important topics in biological research. It is loosely divided into 4 modules: 1) ethics, writing, and basic biology tools; 2) structural and computational biology; 3) protein and carbohydrate structure and function; 4) microbiology, ecology, and evolution. Students will gain a fundamental understanding of major topics in biology through formal didactic instruction and selected readings from the primary literature. When Offered: Fall term. Credit Hours: 4
