Zelluläre Biochemie 2

What it is about

You will gain in-depth knowledge of molecular biochemical processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The focus areas are signal transduction, intracellular transport, protein folding, cellular stress responses, chromatin organization, and RNA splicing. By the end, you will be able to understand the mechanisms and dynamics of protein complexes, critically place current research findings, and derive further questions and experimental approaches from them.

What you will be able to do

• Detailed theoretical understanding of cellular processes
• Comprehension of the molecular interplay of proteins and nucleic acids
• Understanding of current research findings and their interpretation
• Qualitative interpretation of data and derivation of new questions
• Planning and development of solutions to test hypotheses
• Application of knowledge to advanced questions in cell biology
• Preparation for further work (research internships, master's thesis)

What the module consists of

• Vorlesung (2 SWS)Delivery of the fachlichen Grundlagen und mechanistischen Zusammenhänge
• Übungen (2 SWS)Deepening based on current research publications, group work and assignments

Teaching method

• PräsenzvorlesungIntroduction and explanation of the central topic areas
• Begleitende Übungen mit Gruppenarbeiten und HausaufgabenApplication of what has been learned to original publications and practice in data interpretation
• Selbststudium (Literaturvertiefung)Deepening of the contents and critical engagement with the literature
• Medien: Präsentation, Tafelanschrift, Skript, wissenschaftliche Literatur, DiskussionSupport for conveying knowledge and fostering fachlicher Austausch
