Structural Basis of Protein Mechanism (C7124)

15 credits, Level 6

Spring teaching

On this module you will gain a sense of how protein structures are related to each other, and how these structures relate to protein function. You will develop the necessary knowledge and skills to fully understand the process of structure determination, and how this can be used to better understand the functionality of proteins.

You’ll build on fundamental aspects covered in the Year 2 module ‘Structural Basis of Biological Function’. Teaching sessions are used to introduce computational and experimental techniques that are essential for studying proteins. This work provides the basis for the in-depth discussion of more topical issues such as protein complexes and regulation, and protein folding.
