Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: biochemistry course or permission of instructor.

R. M. Spanswick.

The principles of metabolic engineering as they relate to the regulation of metabolic pathways, including membrane transport, are considered in terms of enzyme kinetics and metabolic control analysis. Case studies, reflecting the interests of the instructor, include examples involving higher plants in addition to those on microorganisms. Each student is expected to investigate one topic in depth and make a short class presentation.

Outcome 1: An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.

Outcome 2: An ability to communicate effectively.

Outcome 3: An ability to integrate modern biology with engineering principles.
