Course content
The academic discipline "Molecular Biology with Evaluation of Research Results" studies
modern ideas about the molecular mechanisms of general biological processes:
transcription, RNA processing, protein synthesis, replication, repair and recombination of
DNA. The principles of the structural organization of proteins and nucleic acids, as well as
interactions of biological macromolecules are outlined. The possibilities of using modern methods of
molecular biology, genetic engineering, etc. are presented for the practical evaluation of the results of
molecular research in the detection of hereditary diseases and general pathological
processes, as well as the possible correction of these disorders using the latest gene
technologies.
