Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This theoretical course will start with introductory lectures on the basic concepts in structural biology and cover modern approaches and fundamentals of the methods used in recombinant protein expression, purification, biophysical characterization and quality assessment of macromolecular samples as well as cell biophysics approaches. The covered topics include static and dynamic light scattering, fundamentals of X-ray crystallography, absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques (CD, FRET, FLIM, FC(C)S, fluorescence anisotropy, etc), mass spectroscopy and imaging methods (light and electron microscopy).
Assessment and permitted materials
Verpflichtende Anwesenheit. Die Beurteilung basiert auf folgenden Teilleistungen: Qualität und Aufbereitung der Seminarpräsentation, aktive Teilnahme an den Diskussionen der vorgestellten Publikationen, schriftliche Beiträge (die prozentuelle Aufteilung der Teilleistungen wird vom Kursleiter bekanntgegeben). Jede der Teilleistungen muss positiv sein.
