課程概述

In this course, students will get an introduction to the principles of 3D structures of proteins, which underlie all protein function, as well as the techniques used to obtain and analyze protein structures. There will be a strong emphasis on protein dynamics as well, i.e. how protein structural flexibility permits enzymatic/receptor/structural activity.
Finally, there will be a strong hands-on experience for all students, with in-silico analysis of protein structure, motion and activity. 

課程目標
Students who successfully pass this course will have an overview of the field of protein biophysics and structure, with a strong emphasis on practical analysis and structural evaluation. 
課程要求
Students shouldbring a virtualbox-compatible computing device (windows, mac x386, and linux work, not sure about mac ARM, iOS or Android), with virtualbox installed (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). I will provide a virtual machine with all required software for students to work during the practical part of the course. 
預期每週課前或/與課後學習時數
For every hour of class, I expect students to have to review the materials for another hour. 
Office Hours
每週四 15:00~17:00 
指定閱讀
No overall designated reading, but for every class a list of references will be provided.
