Content

To take part in this course, you will need access to a computer with an up-to-date web-browser, such that you can log in to our teaching server. The dates that are registered are the moments we all meet together, the course will take place decentralized during the entire week.

An overview of the principles of biophysical descriptions of proteins in the context of biochemical engineering will be given using defined proteins/enzymes investigated in BioToP projects: structure and stability engineering and modelling; demonstration of complementarity between experimental (biospectroscopy, calorimetry) and computational approaches; concepts of molecular simulation and inhibitor design; useful computer programmes.

Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

Students will be trained in the principles of analysis and prediction of protein structure, prediction of the effects of protein engineering on protein structure, conformational stability and function. Knowledge of state-of-the-art concepts in molecular simulation of protein-ligand interactions and in silico design of inhibitors. Hands-on training in relevant computer programmes.
