MCB 7100 - Advances in Signal Transduction


Introduction to the advanced concepts in the area of agonist-receptor mediated biochemical signalling mechanisms. The topics include principles, experimental techniques and quantitative analysis of agonist-receptor interaction, ion channels, adrenergic and cholinergic receptors, classical and low molecular weight G proteins, second messengers, oncogenes, growth factors, steroid receptors, and signal transduction in bacteria and yeast.
