Assessment and permitted materials
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students know how to use molecular graphics programs to visualize information about a protein and to
explore differences in related structures. Basic concepts
of molecular mechanics calculations are used to complement structure based techniques.

Introduction to molecular graphics programs (WHATIF, vmd). Comparison of NMR and X-Ray structure of a protein.
Quantifying structural differences (RMSD, Secondary Structure
Assignment, hydrogen bond networks...). Introduction in some
of the advanced functions of WHATIF. Filling gaps in pdb data sets.
Manual building of a peptide and assignment of coordinates corresponding,
e.g., to an ideal alpha helix. Simple homology modeling. "Nice"
representations of protein structures (vmd). A first introduction
into molecular mechanics calculations (CHARMM).Study aids: are handed out during the course (mostly in English, some in German).
