Cell Biology with Lab

Covers the structure and function of cells with an emphasis on eukaryotes. Topics may include cellular genomes; replication and maintenance of genomic DNA; RNA and protein synthesis, processing, and regulation; macromolecular structure and processes of organelles; vesicular transport; cytoskeleton; the cell surface; cell signaling; cell cycle; enzyme kinetics; and thermodynamics. Laboratory experiments emphasize lecture topics and may include methods in microscopy, protein isolation and detection, cell culture, enzyme kinetics, and PCR. This course is a sophomore-level, majors only course. General Biology I and II and General Chemistry I and II are prerequisites. The exclusion of some topics (i.e. transcription, enzyme kinetics) may be appropriate for SUNY campuses that require Genetics and/or Biochemistry as part of their Biology major requirements, where these learning objectives are equally achieved.
