Course Information

This class is an introduction to structural biology with descriptions of theories and methods used to obtain conformational data and dynamics of biomacromolecules such as soluble and membrane bound proteins, DNA, RNA, and their complexes at the atomic resolution. A particular emphasis will be put on how structures and dynamics are correlated to biological function. The class includes a description of modern multidimensional NMR, X-ray, and Mass Spectrometry techniques for structural analysis.
