Brief description


This module aims to provide a core understanding of protein structure and function. This is achieved through a detailed study of the theoretical and practical aspects of protein structures, their interactions with other molecules, and their role in biochemical systems. Particular emphasis is placed on the structural basis of protein function at a molecular level.
