BIOC 421

The flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins is a central theme in biochemistry. This course provides a detailed exploration of the molecular machines and biochemical strategies that drive these processes. Topics include the organization of genetic material, DNA replication and repair, RNA synthesis and processing, catalytic RNA, protein synthesis and degradation, and the biochemical mechanisms of gene regulation. This course highlights how these processes ensure genetic integrity and control the expression of cellular functions. ***
