BIOL 5800 - 001 Adv Tpcs Biochem & Cell
Solving the unsolvable: AI and the evolution of protein structure determination. Protein structure determination or structural biology plays a crucial role in understanding biology at the molecular level by allowing us to visualize and interpret the three-dimensional structure of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological macromolecules. This course will cover three major protein structure determination methods and review the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology on scientists’ ability to solve complex and dynamic protein structures. Topics in this course will include protein purification, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), machine learning, and AI protein structure prediction software. The course will include a combination of assigned readings and homework, class discussions, team-based learning, and in-class activities. In addition to covering the course content, this course will integrate learning strategies for reading and interpreting scientific literature. Key goals of this course include improving critical thinking skills, scientific literature comprehension, data interpretation, and conversing in an active learning environment.
