Summary
In the 1st lecture, the lecturer will explain the fundamental matters of membrane physiology such as the mechanisms of resting membrane potential and action potential generation.  In the 2nd lecture, the lecturer will explain the molecular diversity and the functioning mechanisms of ion channels and receptors. In the 3rd and 4th lectures, we will explain the basic concept and molecular mechanisms of the transepithelial transport and epithelial homeostasis as basic functions of the epithelium, which is responsible for physiological functions of various organs. In the 5th and 6th lectures, we will explain the basic concept of signal transduction, posttranslational modification of proteins and molecular basis for synapse organization. In the 7th, and 8th lectures, we will explain the relationship between the structure and function of soluble proteins and membrane proteins in cells. The structural analysis method will also be explained.
