Why Join

Unlock the 3D Protein Universe

Understanding the relationship between protein 3D structure and biological function is vital for modern systems biology and biotechnology. This 2-day training course bridges the gap between theory and computational application, guiding you from structure determination basics to interactive 3D visualization, comparative structural analysis, and state-of-the-art AI structure prediction with AlphaFold2.

1

Structure & Visualization

Master the principles of protein 3D structure and determination methods. Get hands-on experience using PDB files and interactive visualization software, including ChimeraX, PyMOL, and COOT.

2

AI-Driven Structure Prediction

Explore how artificial intelligence is transforming structural biology. Learn to run structure predictions of hypothetical proteins using AlphaFold2 in a guided, hands-on case study session.

3

Functional Analysis & Design

Analyze structural similarities using DALI, Foldseek, and electrostatic analysis. Apply these molecular insights to perform rational, structure-guided mutagenesis and design protein variants.
