中文简介:
这门在线课程是麻省理工学院开放课程软件项目的一部分;来自他们网站的描述:在这门课程中,你将通过共同构成光合作用的物理、化学和生物反应的网络旅行。我们将从采光开始,跟随光子到达初级光化学的位置:光反应中心。分子尺度视图将详细展示这些蛋白质复合物如何捕获和激发电子。然后,我们将沿着电子进行工作时所走的多条路径走。随后的反应,如合成三磷酸腺苷和减少二氧化碳合成碳水化合物,也将在结构上详细讨论。最后,我们将深入研究这些系统的进化,并讨论其他的光合策略,如光驱动质子泵和缺氧光合作用。该课程将包括参观电子显微镜,让学生直接观察参与光合作用的蛋白质。该课程是麻省理工学院生物学系提供的许多高级本科研讨会之一。这些研讨会是为有兴趣使用初级研究文献的学生量身定制的,旨在在高度互动的环境中讨论和学习当前的生物研究。许多高级本科生研讨会的导师都是对教学有浓厚兴趣的博士后科学家。
课程简介: This online course is part of MIT's Open Course Ware project; the description from their site:In this course, you will journey through the web of physical, chemical, and biological reactions that collectively constitute photosynthesis. We will begin with light harvesting and follow photons to the sites of primary photochemistry: the photoreaction centers. A molecular-scale view will show in atomic detail how these protein complexes capture and energize electrons. Then we will follow the multiple pathways electrons take as they carry out their work. Consequent reactions, such as the synthesis of ATP and the reduction of CO2 during the synthesis of carbohydrates, will also be discussed in structural detail. Lastly, we will delve into the evolution of these systems and also discuss other photosynthetic strategies, such as light-driven proton pumps and anoxygenic photosynthesis. The course will include a visit to an electron microscope to allow students to directly observe proteins involved in photosynthesis.This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department at MIT. These seminars are tailored for students with an interest in using primary research literature to discuss and learn about current biological research in a highly interactive setting. Many instructors of the Advanced Undergraduate Seminars are postdoctoral scientists with a strong interest in teaching.
