BIOP 8101
Biology at Atomic Resolution: Foundations of Crystallography and NMR
Course Description
The course will introduce students to fundamentals of X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy, two complementary methods that provide insights into the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules. Both methods can provide 3D structural information and NMR can also be used to understand the role of dynamics in function. Reading of the primary literature will be a significant component of the course.
