Structural Bioinformatics (138074)
The course goals are to provide the student with a strong theoretical background in Structural Biology and train students to understand the biological role of proteins using structural concepts and computational tools. The student will understand the crucial relationship between sequence, structure and function, learn to manipulate structures and carry on a range of computations that will be very useful to focus and accelerate experimental goals. The course includes methods description and practical examples on topics such as functional site identification, structure prediction, mutation impact, etc.

Advanced Proteins
This course aims to bring students to a common understanding of protein biology, considering the diverse scienUfic backgrounds of Biology graduate students. It will cover classical and modern methods of protein purificaUon, kineUc analysis, and structure-funcUon analysis. Students will learn these methodologies through hands-on experience in purifying an enzyme from an easily available source. The course includes lectures, lab work, and bioinformaUcs tutorials. It is intended for first-year graduate students in biology. A maximum of 15 students will be accepted. The course will be held over a concentrated 10 working days period, during which lectures, labs, and tutorials will be conducted full-day, every day.
