Molecular Cell Physiology (BIO 4454/5454) is a study of the molecular and physiological aspects of cell life.  Topics include cell dynamics, protein structure and function, nucleic acids, recombinant DNA technology, subcellular organization, photosynthesis, respiration, integrated metabolism, transport, and differentiation.  The course consists of lecture and laboratory integrated into six hours per week; length of laboratory sessions varies with weekly topics.
