| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course aims to teach students the basic experiment methods and teaching methods they need for research in molecular biology, cell biology, and the chemistry of biological functions and physiological functions. During the course, students will design practical training and plan experiments relating to biofunctional chemistry, prepare and conduct preliminary experiments prior to practical training, and provide guidance during practical training. In addition to the basic experiment methods and approaches for research on biofunctional chemistry, the course aims to teach students experiment planning skills and teaching methods. | |||
| Course Goals | To learn the basic experiment methods and approaches to conduct research on biofunctional chemistry, and also learn experiment planning skills and teaching methods. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
It is intended that 3-21 weeks of classes will be spent on each of the following subjects: 1. Design and planning of practical training (Shiroh Futaki) Design practical training and plan experiments on biofunctional chemistry 2. Preparation and preliminary experiments (Shiroh Futaki) Prepare practical training content on biofunctional chemistry to explain to undergraduate students and carry out preliminary experiments to assess the validity of experiment plans. 3. Instruction in practical training (Miki Imanishi) (1) Preparations using the protein genetic engineering method (2) DNA recognition of transcription factor proteins and measurement of transcriptional activity (3) Basic handling and microscopic observation of cells (4) Chemical synthesis of peptides and chemical modification of proteins (5) Interaction analysis of biomembranes, and peptides and proteins 4. Presentations and discussion of practical training results (Shiroh Futaki) Presentation and discussion of practical training results in biofunctional chemistry |
