Course description

Content

The course will include a general part, which is complemented by a more specific part. General subjects include: protein chemistry methods and strategies, protein structures and structure determination, folding and misfolding, proteome analysis. Specific subjects include: protein physics, thermodynamics, protein-protein interactions, protein design and engineering, protein dynamics, misfolding and disease.

Recommended academic qualifications

It is recommended that the participant has passed a basic course in protein science such as Protein Videnskab og Enzymology (PVEt) (biochemistry), Protein structure and function (chemistry), Nanobio1+2 (nanoscience), Protein Chemistry and Enzymology I and II (Molecular Biomedicine) or General Biochemistry 2 - Protein Chemistry and Enzymology for Biologists (Biology).

As the course requires some knowledge on protein chemistry, it is not recommended that the participant has only passed a basic biochemistry course.
