The student is capable of analyzing protein and nucleic acid structures using a molecular visualization program and by (web-based) computational techniques.
The student is capable of formulating and understanding structure-function relationships of biolmolecules and can apply such knowledge to the understanding of biological/medical problems.
Content |
The first part of the course introduces detailed aspects of biomolecular structures. Subsequently, structural aspects of important biomolecular processes, such as transcription, trans-membrane signal transduction, transport and mobility, will be discussed. During the second half the details will be placed in a broader framework by studying bioinformatics methods (molecular dynamics, machine learning, homology modelling, force field methods, etc), but at all times with an eye at application of the techniques to design or analyse biomedical topics. |
