[Biology-U-L] BIOCHEMICAL ADAPTATION, (answers the question "why did I ever learn all that stuff about enzymes and metabolism?")

[Biology Undergraduate List]

TO BE OFFERED IN WINTER 2008:

EEMB 175, BIOCHEMICAL ADAPTATION
(answers the question "why did I ever learn all that stuff about enzymes 
and metabolism?")

EEMB 175 involves the application of your knowledge of enzymes and 
metabolism to biologically interesting and relevant subjects such as 
enzyme and membrane adaptations to temperature and hydrostatic pressure 
(e.g., in the deep sea), how some animals survive the absence of oxygen 
(while we die from strokes or heart attacks), the energetics of exercise 
in animal athletes, the biochemistry of human anorexia and adaptations 
to prolonged fasting in penguins, bears and seals. 

In addition to being applicable to the major requirements for the 
general biological sciences and specialized EEMB majors, this course is 
also applicable to the following specialized MCDB majors

    * Biochemistry-Molecular Biology, Area E
    * Cell and Developmental Biology, Area F
    * Pharmacology, Area II

PREREQUISITES RELAXED: Students who have taken EEMB 154 (Integrative 
Physiology) or EEMB 157 (Cell Physiology) or ANY INTRODUCTORY 
BIOCHEMISTRY COURSE that covers enzyme function and metabolism are 
qualified (if you are unable to register, please contact Professor Raul 
Suarez by e-mail: suarez at lifesci.ucsb.edu or by calling 893-7563).
