This course is designed to give a student a broad background in the structure and function of nucleic acids and proteins. For a detailed description see the course outline
In order for the material for this
course to be fully appreciated you should make yourslef familiar with several
available programs and databases. Click on the following link for
details on the most important macromolecular
visualization programs for viewing and analyzing
three-dimensional structures.
The molecule shown on the top left is the yeast phosphoinositol binding protein Sec14p. If your browser is equiped with ChemChime then clicking on the PDB code 1AUA while allow you to look at the structure in 3D and in real time. For more information on Chime and other viewers, see the page on macromolecular visualization .
On the top right is the phage 434 reperessor (1RPE).
