N.B. Starting from 2018, this course is paired with "Biochemistry I" of the Bachelors Programme in Bioinformatics.
Please refer to the latter for teaching resources:
(https://elearning.uniroma1.it/course/view.php?id=4942).
Aims of this course
-Provide students with the tools
necessary for a detailed and critique analysis of the structure of proteins and
their macromolecular complexes.

-The
course consists of lessons and lectures that cover the main topics of the
program, and practical sessions. Practical sessions are carried out in a
computer room with the use of open source software for the visualization of the
tridimensional structure of macromolecules.
