Course description |
06, 22, 2020(Fri) 9:00 - The seminar room, 4th floor, Main building of United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, TUAT This lecture is designed to give students advanced knowledge and skills in the field of applied biochemistry by learning the latest knowledge and technology in agriculture. In particular, this lecture is to provide students with the knowledge needed to understand the latest outcomes of glycobiology in the field of applied biochemistry. |
Expected Learning |
Understanding the latest knowledge of glycobiology. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: (A) and (D). |
Course schedule |
Many glycoproteins can be found in organisms, and “glycochains”, that are polymers composed of various sugars, bind to the glycoproteins. The glycochain has been elucidated in recent years as its third chain next to proteins and nucleic acids, and the functions have been clarified in various stages such as development, differentiation, proliferation, and canceration. This lecture provides outline of the physiological functions of glycochains, including the role in glycoproteins that have recently been used as "drugs". 1)Concepts of glycobiology 2)Glycan in biology 3)Glycosylation and disease |
