I. Welcome!

II. University Course Description The theory and application of modern physical biochemical techniques.

III. Course Objectives This course focuses on relating theoretical concepts and experimental approaches to a wide range of potential research problems in the area of structural biology. The course aims to provide a solid foundation and breadth of understanding in structural biology that will facilitate application to current and future research problems.

IV. Course Purpose Major Topics: Introduction to Structural Biology; From Structure to Function I; From Structure to Function II; From Structure to Function III; From Structure fo Function IV; Control of Protein Function I; Strategies for Protein Separation; Strategies for Protein Identification; Chemical and Immunochemical Probes of Structure; Methods in Structural Bio I, II, II; Structure Determination I, II, III, IV; Control of Protein Function II, III, IV

V. Learning Outcomes Students will gain an understanding of the basic science of Protein Structure, including first principles of the physical interactions that maintain proteins and the mechanisms that make them tic. They will also learn about different techniques and experimental approaches that represent the state-of-the-art and are widely used in the study of proteins. The final session of the course will deal with different applications of protein structure. Importantly, with the Structural Biology course, the students will be offered a learning environment that should make the understanding of protein structure exciting, interesting, reachable and clearly relevant to their future careers.
