Inhalt:
Ion channels in the membrane are often involved in responses to external stimuli, representing early components of signal transduction pathways. During the module, the students will extensively study the role of ion channels for transport processes and signal transduction networks, using theoretical approaches (literature, lectures, seminars) combined with experiments in the lab.
The practical part focuses on the analysis of
structure-function relations in ion channels
protein-protein interactions using different techniques
Ca2+-responses as early signaling elements using calcium reporters,
and introduces different cloning strategies for plasmid preparation as well as different expression systems, such as E. coli, yeast cells, Xenopus oocytes, and plant cells. Electrophysiological characterization of ion transport (optional for interested students only).
Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
Compulsatory attendance, in order to

present and discuss own experimental data
present and critically discuss data published in original research articles
Literatur:
Material for Recommended reading will be provided on the StudOn-platform.
