The viability of a cell, and therefore an organism, depends upon the proper synthesis, function, and ultimately the destruction, of the proteins therein. This course will focus on understanding how proteins are made and degraded in the cell, with an emphasis on what happens in-between – how proteins fold, function, and localize to their proper cellular compartment(s). We will
