| Undervisnings- form: |
The main form of the course will be a study group with compulsory attendance, with one-two students introducing the articles each time followed by discussion. Active participation will be expected from the non-presenting students. Depending on the number of students, the study group will be supported by specialized lectures by experts in the field. |
| Formål: |
Protein science is central in the fundamental understanding of how organisms function, and in the application of proteins in medicine and biotechnology. The function of proteins is carried out through their three-dimensional structure and dynamics. The aim of this course is to guide students who already have a basic knowledge of protein chemistry through more advanced aspects of protein science based on critical reading of original literature.
Course description: The course will cover several aspects of the relationship between protein structure and function by going into depths into several case studies primarily through reading of original literature. Aspects of structure and function of proteases, carbohydrate-active and nucleotide metabolism enzymes, transcription factors and designed proteins will be covered, with other topics varying from year to year. A short practical introduction to protein sequence and structure databases and melcular graphics programs will be given as part of the course.

| Målbeskrivelse: |
The students must be able to:
recognize and describe different types of structures and functional mechanisms for proteins.
independently read and evaluate original research articles and critically describe how the experiments give information on the relationship between protein structure and function.
formulate themselves precisely both orally and in writing when discussing protein structure and function. |
