Presentation: You are to submit an annotated presentation describing the mechanism of action of a drug called Ixempra.

Presentation: You are to submit an annotated presentation describing the mechanism of action of a drug called Ixempra. This presentation should describe briefly the normal cell biology, the pathogenic state and how the drug alters the pathogenic state. Remember - “a picture is worth a thousand words” – the use of a figure depicting a pathway map and indicating the point at which the drug acts is highly encouraged. Furthermore, you will develop and present an experimental plan by which you can prove where in the cell the drug acts; what cellular functions it modulates and the mechanism by which it works.The goal of this exercise is for you to demonstrate conceptual mastery of the experimental techniques discussed throughout the semester.
