Course description
・ November 2, 2022 (Fri) 10:00 〜 Online Lecture
・ This lecture covers structures and types of macromolecules in living organisms, including proteins, and glycans. The first part of the lecture covers the biological roles of post-translational modifications of proteins, focusing on the functions and diversity of glycosylation on proteins. The second part of the lecture covers the structure and function of the extracellular matrix, which consists of proteins and glycans.
・ This course is a course designed to acquire advanced specialized skills in the field of applied life science by learning the latest knowledge and technology in agriculture.
Expected Learning
・ Evaluate grades with the issue report. The degree of understanding is evaluated by asking questions about glycan modification of proteins and extracellular matrix.
・ Understanding the biochemistry of glycan modification of protein and the physiological roles of protein folding.
・ Understanding the major components and physiological functions of extracellular matrix.
・ This lecture corresponds to the Diploma Policies ① and ④ of the Department of Applied Life Sciences. For details, please refer to the curriculum map of the course guide.
Course schedule
・ This lecture is an intensive lecture and explains the following contents.
1) Basic structure of glycans and its role in protein quality control
2) Composition of the extracellular matrix and its functions in biological processes
3) Function of extracellular matrix in the nervous system
