Course content
The academic discipline "Molecular Biology" studies modern ideas about the molecular mechanisms of general biological processes: transcription, RNA processing, protein synthesis, replication, repair and DNA recombination. The principles of the structural organization of proteins and nucleic acids, as well as the interactions of biological macromolecules, are outlined.
The possibilities of using methods of molecular biology, genetic engineering, etc.
to obtain biological molecules or transgenic organisms for use in
various branches of healthcare are presented.
