Objectifs
The main objective of this course is to teach methods applicable to study biological macromolécules.
We aim at a compréhensive coverage of the field including major structural and biophysical
techniques employed for the characterization of high and low resolution structure, structural transition,
macromolecular formations and interaction with small molecules. In this course, students will study a
wide range of problems from a structural and mechanistic perspective using a range of structural
biology methods including cryo-electron microscopy, mass spec, x-ray crystallography and drug
design.
Contenu et méthode
The course provide innovative and ambitious teaching programs. It will be delivered and monitored
simultaneously at the Antwerp University (Belgium) and at the UPMC and will include lectures on :
• Cryo-electron microscopy combined with image analysis
• Mass spectrometry
• X-ray crystallography and modelling
• Drug design
These biophysical foundations will be applied to biological topics medically important, with the view to
developing new drugs.
The course will be mostly. Language: English, reference
material in english. Course session: february and march. Teaching schedule: classes will be given
over 2 months (february and march). The course will be delivered in real time in Paris and Antwerp
using videoconferencing. All the course notes and material will be in English, the course and reference
materials will be available well in advance and posted on the course website.
- Tentative schedule for the university year 2012-2013: 4th, 5th and 6th february (mass spectrometry),
18th, 19th and 20th february (electron cryo-microscopy), 4th, 5th and 6th march (Xray crystalligraphy
and drug design) and 18th march (macromolecular model building).
