Ringkasan program

This is a research course under individual research supervision, which leads to a thesis; the Unit has 3 major scientific aims: to understand the fundamental processes taking place in mitochondria; to understand the involvement of these processes in human diseases; to exploit knowledge of these fundamental processes for the development of new therapies to treat human diseases; topics include: ATP synthase, understanding the molecular mechanism of how ATP is made; bacterial complex I, the structure and function of bacterial respiratory complex I; bioinformatics, understanding mitochondrial processes by using computer modelling and simulation; mitochondrial carriers, transport of metabolites, cofactors and ions across the mitochondrial inner membrane; mitochondrial complex I, understanding the molecular mechanism of complex I and its roles in human disease; mitochondrial diseases, the replication and maintenance of mitochondrial DNA; mitochondrial dysfunction, targeting molecules to mitochondria, mitochondrial radical production and redox signalling; mitochondrial genetics, discovering the genetic links between mitochondrial dysfunction and human disease; proteomics, the mitochondrial proteome; in addition to the course fee (University Composition fee) students may have to pay a college fee.
