Course content
The discipline "Structure and functions of biological membranes" acquaints students with modern views on the biochemical composition and molecular structure of the plasma membrane and membranes of intracellular organelles, with the features of the structure of specific membrane areas - lipid rafts and caveolae, with modern methods of isolation and research of individual biological membranes and their components , with the biochemical mechanisms by which membranes realize their functions (transport, receptor, formation of intercellular contacts), with the processes underlying free radical damage to biological membranes, as well as with the involvement of these cellular structures in the implementation of various forms of cell death.
