Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Objectives and program: 1) the tools needed for visualization and analysis of biological macromolecules,
2) an overview of protein modeling methods: homology modeling, ab initio modeling, proteins and ligands, docking methods, etc ...
The course will cover
- a reminder of the protein structure (if necessary ...),
- an introduction to the Protein Data Bank and description of a PDB file,
- an introduction to the Pymol visualization program and TPs on its use,
- the use of 3D structural analysis software (deepview software, PDBePISA)
- modeling by homology - Introduction to the Yasara and TP program on its use
- Protein-Ligand interactions - Introduction to AUTODOCK software
