- The students will hear introductory and summary lectures, read book chapters as well as research and review papers, work on specific problems (exercises), and discuss together and with the teacher the following topics: Protein structure, dynamics, and function. Evolutionary variations in proteins. Molecular recognition and specificity. Protein–protein and protein–ligand interactions. Allostery. Enzyme catalysis. Membrane proteins and transport processes. Recombinant production and chromato-graphic purification of proteins. Biophysical and biochemical methods for protein characterization.
