Course/Module description:
This course provides an introduction to the structure and function of proteins, proceeding from sequence to structure to function. The following subjects are covered:
* principles of protein folding
* the effect of mutations on protein stability and function
* evolution of protein sequences
* the structural basis for the recognition of biomolecules, for example protein-DNA binding
* principles of function of unstructured proteins
The course also provides an introduction to the modeling of protein structure, and protein design.
The course is taught together with 81821, the exercises
