Penn - Lemmon. Prerequisite(s): General biochemistry or cell biology, and BIOM 600 or permission of instructor. Molecular structure and function of receptors, GTP binding proteins, second messengers, kinases, lipases, phosphatases etc. given at the current research level. Specific signaling cycles and their coupling mechanisms are examined with the aim of understanding what and how molecular communication chains mediate sensory, hormone and neurotransmitter action that control cellular physiologic functions like growth, secretion, electrical activity, cell cycle, gene expression, etc. and how so many interacting cycles are kept coordinated in health. Biochemical, molecular biological and structural chemical approaches are developed and used to achieve both a broad and deep understanding of cellular events that constitute the life force that we know and love so well and knowledge of which will be used to explain associated disease states.
