- Syllabus
- Basic protein properties: theoretical background (proteinogenic amino acids, non-standard proteinogenic amino acids, isoelectric point, extinction coefficient, stability and storage of proteins, localization in cell), prediction of basic protein properties, initial methionine and its cleavage, signal sequence, information in databases, sequence alignment.
- Recombinant proteins production: theoretical background (vectors, host organisms, ligation, transformation, expression, problems, disulfide bonds, posttranslational modifications, rare codons, production of toxic proteins), prediction of posttranslational modifications and disulfide bonds, prediction of glycosylation, design of synthetic genes.
- Secondary structure and function of proteins: theoretical background (secondary structure and protein folding, CD spectroscopy, prediction of protein function, secondary protein databases), secondary structure prediction, CD spectrum prediction, prediction of function by sequence alignment, identification and analysis of active site, mutations in active sites, identification of structural and functional motifs in sequences.
- Protein tertiary structure and oligomerization: theoretical background (3D structure, structural databases, structure determination, RTG, NMR, theory of structure prediction, importance of oligomerization, determination of oligomerization), 3D structure visualization, types of depiction, homology proteins alignment, active site analysis, prediction tools, model validation, prediction of oligomerization, repetition analysis.
