- Previous knowledge expected
-
Basic knowledge of biochemistry and spectroscopy. The lecture is recommended for advanced master study students and PhDs
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
The students will be able to explain the basics of structural biology and protein structure determination methods. The students will be able to compare the advantages/disadvantages of the main methods for structure determination. In particular, the students will be able to independently assess the quality and reliability of published protein structural data and protein models and use the obtained knowledge in discussing scientific publications.
