Molecular and Cellular Biology

MCB 2210 - Introductory Cell Biology S,F,W (3-0) [0.50]
This course covers the structure and function of eukaryotic cells with emphasis on multicellular organisms. Emphasis is on the role of subcellular structures and organelles in cellular processes of bioenergetics, division, differentiation, motility, secretion, nutrition, and communication. Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. (Also offered through Distance Education format.)

MCB 4010 - Advanced Cell Biology W (3-0) [0.50]
This course examines the cellular and molecular biology of signal transduction. The major theme is an understanding of how eukaryotic cells receive, transmit and respond to environmental signals. Topics will include cellular regulation of cell cycle progression and cell death as well as the consequences of deregulated signal transduction in terms of disease, primarily cancer.

MCB 4050 - Protein and Nucleic Acid Structure F (3-0) [0.50]
This course explores the relationship between the functions and the three dimensional structures of DNA, RNA and proteins. Topics covered include how these structures are determined, the principles governing their folding and architecture, why some proteins don't fold at all, and the use of these structures to guide drug discovery. Practical skills are emphasized, including the use of bioinformatics and visualisation tools to analyse sequences and structures.

MCB 4060 - Molecular & Cell Biology of Yeast F (3-0) [0.50]
The molecular and cellular biology of yeast as a model system in eukaryotic biology, mating, mating type switching, nutrient sensing and response, dimorphism, tissue invasion and drug resistance of selected yeasts will be discussed. Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology.

MCB 4080 - Applied Microbiology and Biochemistry F (3-0) [0.50]
This course is a study of how microorganisms, their enzymes and biochemical pathways can be manipulated to produce goods and services in industry, medicine and scientific research. The means by which the yields of secondary metabolites, enzymes, and genetically selected products can be maximized are considered and examples of specific processes are examined. Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology and Department of Environmental Biology.

MCB 4500 - Research Project in Molecular & Cellular Biology I S,F,W (0-12) [1.00]
This course involves independent research of a practical or theoretical nature on a specific topic in molecular and cellular biology. It is carried out under the supervision of an individual faculty member. Students should make arrangements with both a faculty advisor and the course coordinator at least one semester in advance of taking the course. The signature of the course coordinator will be required to select the course. A departmental registration form must be obtained from, and submitted to, the course coordinator no later than the 2nd class day of the semester in which the student is registered for the course.

MCB 4600 - Topics in Molecular and Cellular Biology S,F,W (1-3) [0.50]
Independent study of a current topic in Molecular and Cellular Biology, selected from the recent research literature and involving a review and critical appraisal of the area. The course comprises independent library research, participation in weekly meetings, and written and oral presentations. Students should make arrangements with both faculty advisor and the course coordinator in a prior course selection period. Open to students in semesters 6, 7, and 8 of the B.Sc. Majors in the molecular biosciences, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology
