This course explores structural biology from three perspectives: 1) the fundamental concepts in structural biology; 2) the
methods used to determine structures (including x-ray crystallography, NMR, electron microscopy, and computational modeling);
3) the bioinformatic concepts and tools used to compare, contrast and assign biochemical function to protein structures and
sequences. The course emphasizes building a conceptual and practical skill set that will be applicable to any structure related
problem.
