| Content | This Block Course will enable students to glean deep insight into the nanoscopic world of biomolecules that drive functional cellular processes. Here, you will gain a fundamental understanding of the cutting-edge computational tools, experimental methods and quantitative analytical techniques being used to resolve biomolecular structures and their interactions correlated across atomic, molecular and cellular length scales. This course consists of three main themes: protein design, theoretical concepts and experimental research. First, students will be introduced to AI-based structural prediction and protein design. Second, you will participate in lectures to learn about the theoretical underpinnings of structural biology and biophysical methods. Third, all students will carry out weekly research projects using different combinations of methods and analyses. As a bonus, students will build and test their own designer proteins. Topics - computational tools including AI-based structure prediction - protein design, expression and purification - atomic force microscopy - cryo-electron microscopy and tomography - X-ray crystallography - nuclear magnetic resonance - surface plasmon resonance - isothermal calorimetry - mass photometry |
