The course introduces structural bioinformatics – a multifields discipline which utilizes biomolecular structural data obtained by a range of experimental methods – X-Ray, NMR and electron microscopy. High numbers of structures in structural databases (ca. 130 000 structures in total) allow the application of computational and statistical methods to extract principles which control the folding process. These principles are used in structure prediction methods or as a basis for structural modelling in combination with physico-chemical rules. Students will get knowledge of basic principles used in structural bioinformatics, statistical methods, and available tools for structural analysis and prediction.

Students will know: Basic principles of structure classification as well as physico-chemical principles determining spatial structures of proteins, DNA and RNA. Priciples and algorithms used for prediction of physico-chemical properties of biomolecules based on primary sequence knowledge. Background and principles of algorithms used for secondary structure prediction of proteins and RNA, coparison of their accuracy. Practical application of methods for tertiary structure prediction of biomolecules including homology modelling, threading, and ab initio methods. Orientation in primary resources of data (structural databases) as well as in knowledge-based databases. Description of intermolecular complexes, their statistical foundation and computational methods for intermolecular docking. Last update: Svozil Daniel (26.01.2018)
