Courses

81817 Structure and Function of Proteins Experimental and computational approaches to study protein structure and function 81817 Structure and Function of Proteins (ekmd access necessary)

The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to protein structure and function. The main topics of the course are:

• The main features that determine protein structure.
• How does the sequence of a protein define its structure?
• Prediction of protein structure
• Protein design
• Protein function & prediction of protein function based on sequence and structure
• Specific example: protein-dna recognition.
The course is accompanied by weekly exercises that allow the students to get hands-on experience about the taught material.

81865 From Networks to Molecules Experimental and computational approaches to study protein-protein interactions 81865 From Networks to Molecules (ekmd access necessary)

Protein-protein interactions and interactions with other molecules are a central component of cells. This course is designed to present an overview of different levels of interactions and networks of interactions that characterize cellular function. The vast data about interactions that has accumulated lately from high-throughput methods will be described, and tools to analyze these data. Recent successes in manipulation of protein-protein interactions by experiment or by computer-guided approaches will be introduced and practiced by hands-on examples.
