DESCRIPTION
- Introduction to Metabolic Control Analysis and its basis in enzyme kinetics and of Flux Balance Analyses.
- Laws and practical applications of Metabolic Control Analysis, and extension of this method to include gene expression.
- Modular kinetic analysis of cellular networks.
- Structure and function of bacterial and mitochondrial respiratory networks.
- Regulation of gene expression during respiration in microorganisms.
- Use of a depository of mathematical models to explore reaction systems in the cell.
- Control Analysis of signal transduction as a key in the understanding of cancer.
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) awards credits based on the ECTS system. Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
Course includes lab component.
