The fundemental outcome of this course is to enable students comprehend the relationships between protein structures and functions on atomic level while doing these they will acquire the means of visualizing and manuplating protein 3D structures. This course will also introduce them to in silico rational drug design concept widely exploited by structure based biotech companies seeking novel chemicals to target cancer, neurologic disorders etc.

This course includes that information about structural and functional relationship of proteins at molecular level; problem solving on novel areas such as rational drug design; analyzing and manipulating the chemical and physical interactions between groups and atoms functional in assuming the different hierarchical organization levels of protein structure.
