- Course objectives
- The goal of the course is to provide the students logical connections between the macro-/micro-scopic aspects of several common diseases of humans (Alzheimer, Bekhterev, cancer) and changes in protein primary to tertiary structure, which affect the protein-protein interaction, (un)folding of the protein, protein-nucleic acid interaction, protein-ligand interaction. The course will also show the strategies for designing cures and therapy of these diseases.
- Syllabus
- 1) The concept of identification and characterization of a disease 2) Historical evolution of therapy 3) Identification of a disease at a molecular level 4) The role of (un)folding, changes in primary sequence 5) Protein-protein, protein-NA, protein-ligand interactions 6) Drug-design
