UCL CELL2006A Cell Biology ()

Follows the lecture - chemical composition of the plasma membrane, membrane fluidity, FRAP attack information. Extra reading with sources cited.

Covers 2 lectures on organelle structure and function, as well as biogenesis (eg. localisation signals, detailed pathways of directing nutrients and components for biogenesis - to the nucleus, mitochondria, peroxisomes etc.) Extra reading with sources cited.

Electrical properties of the plasma membrane - how ions are transported, how electrical charge is generated. Extra reading with sources cited.

First 2 introduction lectures to the course - what is an organelle, definition of an organelle, information on the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast, peroxisomes, lysosomes, some non-organelles and a brief note on the evolutionary origin of organelles
