5.08[J] Biological Chemistry II

()
(Same subject as 7.08[J])
(Subject meets with 7.80)
Prereq: 5.12 and (5.07 or 7.05)
Units: 4-0-8
Lecture: MWF11 (2-105) Recitation: W1 (4-251) or R1 (8-205) or F1 (4-251) or F2 (4-251) +final

More advanced treatment of biochemical mechanisms that underlie biological processes. Topics include macromolecular machines such as the ribosome, the proteosome, fatty acid synthases as a paradigm for polyketide synthases and non-ribosomal polypeptide synthases, and polymerases. Emphasis is on experimental methods used to unravel these processes and how these processes fit into the cellular context and coordinate regulation.
