training in chemistry and biology. Minor deficiencies may be made<br />

up immediately after entering graduate school. Previous<br />

undergraduate experience in a research laboratory is highly<br />

recommended. Doctoral students are required to take a core IDP<br />

course in fall term of their first year; and beginning in spring term,<br />

students take advanced classes in areas of interest. Specific<br />

advanced-level courses may be recommended by the student's<br />

supervisory chair and committee. The following courses are open to<br />

all graduate students and advanced undergraduates. Additional<br />

courses are listed in the Advanced Concentration in Biochemistry<br />

and Molecular Biology section under Medical Sciences.<br />

BCH 5413: Mammalian Molecular Biology and Genetics (3)<br />

Prereq: BCH 3025, 4014, CHM 3218, 4207, MCB 4303, or PCB 3063<br />

or consent of instructor. Biochemical and genetic approaches to<br />

understanding vertebrate and particularly mammalian molecular<br />

biology, moving from basic processes of replication, transcription,<br />

and protein synthesis to signal transduction, cell cycle, cancer,<br />

genomics, and developmental genetics.<br />

BCH 6040: Research Discussion in Biochemistry and Molecular<br />

Biology(1) Prereq: Required as students in Biochemistry and<br />

Molecular Biology. Open to students in other fields with permission<br />

of the instructor. Current research in biochemistry and molecular<br />

biology will be presented by departmental faculty and invited<br />

speakers. S/U.<br />

BCH 6107: Biophysical Techniques in Proteomics and Protein<br />

Science (1) Prereq: GMS 6001 or consent of instructor. Coreq: BCH<br />

6740 or consent of instructor. Theory and application of modern<br />

biophysical techniques relevant to proteomics and protein science.<br />

BCH 6206: Advanced Metabolism (3) Prereq: BCH 4024, CHM<br />

4207, or consent of instructor. One of three core biochemistry<br />

courses. Reactions of intermediary metabolism, emphasizing their<br />

integrations, mechanisms, and control. Extensive examples from<br />

current literature.<br />

BCH 6207: Advanced Metabolism: Role of Membranes in Signal<br />

Transduction and Metabolic Control (1) Prereq: BCH 3025,<br />

4024, CHM 3218, 4207, GMS 6001, or consent of instructor.<br />

Fundamentals of membrane biochemistry. Discussions of membrane<br />

structure, nutrient and ion transport, protein targeting, and signal<br />

transduction. Experimental methods and techniques used to gather<br />

and analyze data related to membrane biochemistry and its<br />

regulation.<br />

BCH 6208: Advanced Metabolism: Regulation of Key Reactions<br />

in Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism (1) Prereq: BCH 3025,<br />

4024, CHM 3218, 4207, GMS 6001, or consent of instructor. Key<br />

reactions in metabolic pathways of carbohydrate and lipid<br />

metabolism. Explores the experimental basis for current<br />

understanding of these processes. Understanding the interactions<br />

between major metabolic pathways and control of these pathways<br />

under different physiological conditions.<br />
