Fundamentals of Molecular Biology. Part 1: Molecular Biology of the Cell - A. N. Ogurtsov 2011

Introduction

The subject of the academic discipline "Molecular Biology" is the biophysical and biochemical molecular mechanisms underlying processes in living Cells. The "Molecular Biology" course consists of three sections: fundamentals of molecular biology, core molecular genetic mechanisms, and the molecular foundations of Gene technologies. The scientific basis of the "Molecular Biology" course relies on physics and biophysics, biochemistry and biophysical chemistry, molecular biophysics, and Enzymatic Catalysis.

The METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF the course include lectures outlining the Key Concepts of each section, Practical Classes, and independent student work, which serves as the primary method for mastering the material outside of scheduled classroom hours.

More than half of the total time allocated for the discipline is designated for independent study, which covers all topics included in the curriculum. Through independent work, students develop The ability to acquire knowledge autonomously, which is subsequently applied in completing individual Assignments and practical tasks, as well as in preparing for progress tests and the final examination.

This study guide has been prepared on The basis of revised and expanded guides [1, 2] and adapted works [3–28], which also served as the source for illustrations, aiming to facilitate the mastery of the "Fundamentals of Molecular Biology" section of the "Molecular Biology" course for students majoring in 051401 "Biotechnology". Before using this guide, students should carefully review the material in References [3, 4], as comprehension of cellular mechanisms and molecular-level processes is impossible without them.
