Course Description
This graduate-level course covers the mechanisms by which cells receive and respond to external/environmental signals. Major categories of receptors, protein domains, post-translational modifications, intracellular signal transducing proteins and their role in specific pathways and ultimately in cellular biology are presented, with emphasis on methods used to study these pathways experimentally.

Wikipedia Assignment
This will be a semester-long assignment, with milestones at various times to help ensure that progress is being made.

Students will work individually to edit one Wikipedia article, and will act as a peer reviewer for two other articles. The goal of the assignment is to make a substantive contribution to a Wikipedia article on a topic within the field of Signal Transduction. Each student will choose an article that's in need of work, and your goal is to improve upon the article, within the timeframe of this semester.
