Lecture on “Modeling protein mutations with Rosetta” at Leipzig University

Anett Albrecht/ September 17, 2019/ Events

December 05-19, 2019. This course teach theoretical and practical aspects of computational biology including the integration of Human Genetics with Molecular Modeling. It focus on aspects of protein sequence alignments, secondary structure prediction, comparative modeling, protein-protein and protein-ligand docking, structure-based drug design, virtual screening, the relationship of protein sequence, structure, variation, and disease. This course includes a practical section and is intended for PhDs, PostDocs and Students.
