Course Name: Structural Biology

Course abstract

Post NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) era has completely changed the way of understanding research, especially in the field of biomedical science. Today the complete genome sequencing of an organism is done in a few days providing the researchers with thousands of genes hence thousands of protein sequences. But to proceed further we need to understand the three-dimensional architecture of the protein molecules. The current course would take an initiative to educate the students in gathering knowledge about the structural units forming biological macromolecules, their architectural hierarchies, the basics of the structural biology techniques, their pros and cons, how to read and visualize 3D structure files, etc.
