Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics

Undergraduate

provides an in-depth exploration of the interplay between structure, dynamics, and function of complex biomolecules, which may include proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Topics will include exemplar biomolecular systems of particular interest in human health and disease including drug design targets. Students will probe structure/dynamics/function relationships hands-on using tools such as bioinformatics, 3D structure databanks, computational modelling and molecular simulation analysis.
