BMB 961: From Analysis of Metabolism to Systems
Biology
In this course we will take a multidisciplinary approach to
understanding how metabolic networks are regulated, analyzed, and
manipulated. We will do this by studying the structure and dynamic
behavior
of metabolic networks in animals, plants, and microbes. Topic areas
include metabolic networks and
their regulation, analysis of metabolic fluxes from both kinetic
and
steady state approaches, and
metabolic engineering.
