Inhaltliche Voraussetzungen (erwartete Kenntnisse)

Basic lectures in Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Lehrziel

After completing this course and passing the exam students should understand the relationship between protein structure and function as well as protein dynamics and stability. Moreover they will have an overview about the most important techniques in elucidation of protein structure and quality. The principles in protein design and engineering will be discussed as well as the use of the most important databases, elucidation of protein phylogeny. Further, students will gain insight into the basics in protein modeling and structure prediction.
