BIOL 587 - Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Lipids and Membranes
3Credits An in depth look at the structure and function of acyl and prenyl lipids (e.g. phospholipids and cholesterol) in biology. Focus on lipid synthesis and metabolism and their roles in signal transduction and membrane physiology, emphasis on biomedical ramifications of triacylglycerol, cholesterol and prostaglandin homeostasis in humans.Prerequisites: BIOL 481/581 or BIOL 482/582.
