Course Details
• Fundamentals of Biomolecular Interactions: An introduction to the key principles and concepts of biomolecular interactions, including non-covalent interactions, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, and electrostatic interactions.
• Biomolecular Structure: An overview of the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates. This unit will cover topics such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and computational modelling.
• Protein Structure and Function: An in-depth exploration of protein structure, including primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures, and how these structures relate to protein function. This unit will also cover topics such as enzyme kinetics and protein-protein interactions.
• Nucleic Acid Structure and Function: An examination of the structure and function of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This unit will cover topics such as DNA replication, transcription, and translation, as well as RNA processing and regulation.
• Lipid and Carbohydrate Structure and Function: An exploration of the structure and function of lipids and carbohydrates, including membrane structure, lipid signalling, and glycobiology.
• Biomolecular Interactions in Disease: An analysis of how biomolecular interactions play a role in disease, including topics such as protein misfolding and aggregation, gene mutations, and epigenetic modifications.
• Advanced Techniques in Biomolecular Interactions: An introduction to cutting-edge techniques and technologies used to study biomolecular interactions, including single-molecule techniques, mass spectrometry, and computational simulations.
• Biomolecular Interactions in Drug Discovery: An examination of how biomolecular interactions are leveraged in drug discovery, including topics such as target identification, lead optimization, and clinical development
