- 15 credits
- Lund Campus
- Study period: 01 Nov 2013 – 19 Jan 2014
KEMM15. The course aims to provide an in-depth understanding of proteins with an emphasis on structure and its connection to biological functions. The course treats the principles that determine these properties and the methods, mainly X-ray crystallography, that is used to study them within modern molecular protein science.
Course contents
Lectures: Polypeptide conformations. The secondary and three-dimensional structure of proteins, structural classification and structure databases. Prediction and modelling of protein structure. The stability of proteins, dynamics, the interaction in proteins: packing and electrostatics. Ligand binding and structure-based design of drugs. Principles for X-ray crystallography and other methods such as small angle X-ray scattering, neutron scattering etc.
Laboratory work and computer exercises: Provide training in the relevant theoretical and experimental methods that are described for studying protein structure and dynamics.
