Biochemistry CUME 11/16/98

Will deal with the following article:

Mizushima et al. (1998). A protein conjugation system essential for autophagy. Nature 395, 395-398. (September 24 issue)

 

You should read and thoroughly understand everything about it. I would advise you also to read as many of the references or general reference sources as necessary to have a complete understanding of the techniques involved as well as the background of the topic. You may bring this article and any other journal articles with you (but no general references/textbooks). A general knowledge of biochemistry, biochemical techniques, and experimental design will be required for success in this exam.
