| Course description |
Structural bioinformatics studies protein structures resolved in 3D by experimental methods. recent years have witnessed an exponential growth of experimental data on protein structure and interactions due to projects such as Structural Genomics Initiative. This opens new venues for bioinformatics studies related to protein structure prediction, comparison and analysis. The course will takes you from the very basic concepts of how structural data are obtained and organized in databases to sophisticated topics of intricate relationships between protein structure and function and the evolution of the two; and insights from comparison of protein structures. In the exercises, we will learn basic techniques for structure search, comparison, analysis of active residues, protein modelling and small molecule docking. |
