Description

Content

The course deals with protein structure, folding and dynamics. Basic principles of following techniques are studied: determination of biological macromolecule structure by x-ray crystallography, NMR spectrocopy and electron microscopy techniques. A special focus is how to use structural data obtained by various techniques in interpreting and modeling of the structures.

Completion methods

Practices, lectures, group discussions, research project, where literature and protein structure data is employed. Attendance in compulsory in the group discussions.

Assessment details
