SQF7008 Structural Bioinformatics

This course will focus on the 3D structure of protein. It will discuss the methods to determine
protein 3D structure, motifs and domains in protein structure, classification based on protein
structure, issues in protein folding and the structural influence in protein function. It will also discuss
the molecular dynamics application in protein structure and QSAR based drug design.
