AbstractIntroduction into current research strategies in protein science.
ObjectiveTo understand current research strategies in protein science.
ContentProteins have become an object of intense study in modern science, raging from their use as therapeutics to elucidating their structure and function in the cell. Moreover, it is now possible to engineer and evolve tailor-made proteins, opening up many new areas of science. This course will attempt to cover the frontiers and remaining challenges, emphasizing the biochemical foundations of the various approaches.
