This course is an overview of the basic principles governing protein structure and folding. Topics include stereochemical mechanisms by which protein secondary and tertiary structures are generated and stabilized, methods of prediction of tertiary structure from amino acid sequence, and the organization of folding motifs into protein structures. Instruction will be based on didactic material, discussion of the primary literature, and student projects utilizing computer graphics.
