Annotation -
The subject gives practical training in computational methods for prediction of structures of proteins, their application in modeling their complexes with small-molecule ligands and for simulation of their dynamics. The subject follows introduction to bioinformatics and structural biology and develops practical skills based on these subjects. These skills will help students in further praxis in biochemical and pharmaceutical research and development.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

Predict protein structures at different level of homology proteins with known 3D structure, predict structures of protein-ligand complexes and strengths of interactions, simulate protein dynamics including systems containing non-standard residues and modifications, application of enhanced sampling methods.
