Learning structural bioinformatics and evolution with a snake puzzle
We propose here a working unit for teaching basic concepts of structural bioinformatics and evolution through the example of a wooden snake puzzle, strikingly similar to toy models widely used in the literature of protein folding.
Scientific topics: Protein structure analysis, Molecular biology, Evolutionary biology, Bioinformatics

Viewing 3D Structures with Deep View
Many proteins have had their structures experimentally determined, and an examination of these structures can provide valuable insights into the function of these molecules. This course will show you how to use the free Deep View software to view and analyse both single and multiple protein...

Many proteins have had their structures experimentally determined, and an examination of these structures can provide valuable insights into the function of these molecules. This course will show you how to use the free Deep View software to view and analyse both single and multiple protein structures. It will also show you how to make impressive molecular graphics for your reports or posters.

Protein Structure Analysis
This training session will provide the basics of protein structure determination and how this information is stored in databases. We will explore and search in online databases containing protein structure information. With the aid of the Yasara View program we will visualize the structure....

This training session will provide the basics of protein structure determination and how this information is stored in databases. We will explore and search in online databases containing protein structure information. With the aid of the Yasara View program we will visualize the structure. Different hands-on exercises will allow you to compare the structure of homologues, to predict a structural model of proteins without any structure information and to find homologuous structures. We will use the FoldX program to quantify various interactions in the structures.
