Course learning outcomes
After studying this course, you should be able to:- describe in general terms how extrinsic signals activate cell signalling pathways to elicit cellular responses
- describe how cell signalling processes facilitate quorum sensing in bacteria
- outline the diverse roles played by proteins in cellular communication and how various proteins can function together in a signalling pathway
- relate the activities and properties (including domain structure) of proteins to their roles in signalling.
