Aims of course |
The aim is to provide knowledge about the structure of the membrane and its properties, existing intracellular forces. Lipid membrane models. Students will get acquainted with the active and passive transfer of materials through membranes, also get acquainted with the structure of the ion channels and their molecular mechanism of action, and will know about the protein channels that are involved in the development of the membrane potential on the nerves and other cells. The mechanism of lipid membrane interactions with proteins will be presented, which determines a signal transmission, functioning of pathogens and cellular protection responses. Students will gain knowledge about the transfer of various substances in the cell through the membrane vesicles, the molecular mechanisms of vesicles fusion with the plasma membrane. The latest technology and research methods in this topic will be presented. |
