Introduction to common structural biology techniques used for protein structure prediction and determination

​

Methods such as biological nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), protein X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy(EM), circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and structural bioinformatics are briefly described. Softwares used for protein structure visualisation such as PyMOL and COOT are demonstrated. Critical analysis of recent published protein structures is performed by assignments and student presentations.
