| Outline and Purpose of the Course | The objective of this course is to let students master the experimental techniques and analytical methods in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, and structural biology through the completion of respective projects concerning microorganisms. | ||
| Course Goals | Acquiring diverse analytical techniques regarding cell biology and biological molecules (e.g. proteins and nucleic acids), understanding the principles of the methods. Setting up the experimental plans, and carrying out them. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
1. Elucidation of the mechanism of gene expression in yeast This project aims to elucidate the mechanism of gene expression system concerning stress response in yeast. This project also aims to analyze the regulatory mechanism of transcription factors involved in the response against environmental stress as well as nutritional conditions. 2. Elucidation of molecular mechanism of metabolic stress response This project aims to elucidate the mechanism of stress response against several stress stimuli raised from intracellular metabolism or alteration of extracellular environment by the method of molecular genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology using yeast as a model. In addition, this project aims to verify the generality of the molecular mechanism clarified using yeast. |
