Document Summary
Archibald, department of biochemistry & molecular biology (coordinator) Email: john. archibald@dal. ca: liu, department of biochemistry & molecular biology. Email: paul. liu@dal. ca: briggs, department of biochemistry & molecular biology. 2:30 - 5:30 pm room 8j-1, tupper medical building. This class focuses on the relationship of structure to function in rna and dna. Methods of studying the primary, secondary and tertiary structures of nucleic acids are explored in lectures and in the laboratory. Enzymatic mechanisms for biosynthesis, rearrangement, degradation and repair of nucleic acid molecules are studied, as are the processes of replication, transcription and translation. In this context, nucleic acid biochemistry is emphasized as a basis for understanding storage and transfer of biological information. Molecular biological techniques are based on underlying principles of nucleic acid biochemistry and will be described in that context. Biol2020, biol2030, chem2401 and 2402, all with a grade of b-minus or better, as well as bioc2300; or instructor"s permission.
