Goals With this course, the basic information about the nucleic acids and metabolism to increase the knowledge about nucleic acids and to gain the basic knowledge.
Course Content Genes and chromosomes, chromosomal elements, DNA size and structure, chromatine and nucletide structure, DNA metabolism, DNA collocation, DNA repair, DNA recombination, RNA metabolism, RNA synthesis, RNA treatment, DNA synthesis via RNA, protein metabolism, genetic codes, protein targetting and degradation, gene statement regulation, principles of regulation, procaryots, eucaryot regulation
Learning Outcomes 1) Knows the chromosomal elements and draws the super-crimp of DNA through histone proteins.
2) Summarize the process of self-matching of DNA and understand the importance of the enzymes used. Compares the DNA repair systems with each other.
3) Explain RNA synthesis and explain the differences and common characteristics between DNA and RNA synthesis.
