- Course objectives
- At the end of the course students should be able to understand and explain how proteins interact with RNAs. Different modes of interactions as well as their importance for biological functions will be discussed. In addition, the course will highlight advantages and disadvantages of various techniques when applied to protein-RNA complexes.
