Bioinformatics for proteins: sequence, structure and function

Distance course in bioinformatics

You are assumed to Read the text specified in the schedule, and (2) do the assignments. More text for the interested student is available at the text section.

Preparation for the course

It is assumed that you have a basic knowledge about protein structures, if that is not the case please read for instance this introduction or any basic biochemistry textbook.

You will also need a program to look at proteins on your computer, I recommend Rasmol which is available for most computers, however there are many other programs available too. It is a good idea to spend an hour or two to familiarize you with rasmol if you have not used it before.

You will also need to print/view postscript files. Tools for this can be found at here.

If you have questions, please ask me.

Registration and credits

Unfortunately this course is not given at Stockholm University any more, but if you just want to learn, please feel free to do it. Once you are done I can send you a letter saying that you have passes.

Disclaimer

The papers and method selected for this course are my choices. I have picked methods that I consider technically important, however there are many other methods available that might be as good.

Further there is not a strict agreement between the methods presented in the text session and the methods at the assignment, this depends on that all methods are not available in an easy to use format.

If you want to know more about a method, read the suggested papers and/or search for more information on the net. If you send me a mail I will do my best to help you.
