Survey of the structure and function of biological membranes. Topics include the structure, properties and composition of biomembranes, characterization and structural principles of membrane lipids and proteins, lateral and transverse asymmetry, dynamics, lipid-protein interactions, membrane enzymology, permeability, and biogenesis. Prerequisites: BIOCH 320 or equivalent, with a minimum grade of B- or consent of Department. Lectures are the same as for BIOCH 441, but with additional assignmen...
