Seminar Series designed for those curious about a career in biological sciences and medicine. A novel format combining lectures with "talk show" interviews gives a broad view of many research problems, experimental approaches, and practical applications as well as career paths. Emphasis is on the excitement of scientific explorations not an abundance of the technical facts and figures. Freshmen and non-science majors Co-listed with 250.300 and 250.306

Through lectures and computer labs course introduces bioinformatics concepts, algorithms and databases. Computer based exercises cover sequence comparisons, database searching, gene expression analysis and genome characterization. Emphasis on new and emerging techniques and topics and a critical interpretation of the information obtained. Permission required

Prereq: 020.305 - Biochemistry and 250.372 - Introduction to Biophysical Chemistry Structural basis of biological energy transduction (i.e. bioenergetics). Review global aspects of bioenergetics (from photon to ATP) and examine structures of key proteins involved in biological energy transduction (light harvesting complexes, bacteriorhodopsin, ATPase, cytochrome C oxidase, etc). Emphasis on unique structural motifs necessary for energy transduction, and on relevant physical and chemical principles governing bioenergetics. Possibly talk about how it all might have started (i.e. origins of life). Students who have taken Advanced Seminar on a different topic permitted to enroll.
