Overview
In this topic students will learn the about the functions of cellular proteins and contemporary approaches that are used for the study and characterisation of proteins. Students will build on concepts introduced at second year level. This topic review the process of protein translation, and then examine the post-translational events … For more content click the Read More button below.

Aims
This topic aims to:
- Provide an understanding of the processes that regulate and control the function of cellular proteins with a particular emphasis on how protein structure relates to function
- Familiarize students with both experimental and bioinformatic techniques that are used to identify and characterise both individual proteins and entire proteomes
- Further develop students' scientific skills for work in a molecular biology laboratory
- Further develop students' generic skills in the areas of accurate record keeping (attention to detail), creativity and problem-solving, independence and teamwork, good written and oral communication, critical thinking
