Content Overview
Suitable for anyone with basic biology knowledge, this course will take you through the world of structural biology and how bioinformatics has the power to change the face of medicine and healthcare.

Starting with the basics of structural biology, this course will help you embrace the way that structural bioinformaticians think and operate, providing you with the necessary approach to tackling complex biomedical issues.

With these basics mastered, the course will take you through selecting a protein of interest that will both give you the motivation to see your project come to fruition and yield results. With your protein of focus in hand, this course will then guide you through homology modeling, docking, and even protein-ligand interaction analysis.

Students completing the course will have the knowledge to investigate a disease-associated protein from a structural biology point of view and will possess the necessary skills and data to form a research project of their own.
