Course overview
Project summary:
Structural description of protein-protein interactions is the cornerstone of knowledge enabling detailed molecular understanding of processes such as receptor-ligand recognition within the immune system, potentially leading to a design of targeted immunotherapeutics or drugs in general. Precise analysis of such interacting systems usually relies on X-ray structural analysis, which depends on the successful preparation of diffracting crystals of the given protein complex - a task significantly more difficult for flexible or large protein complexes/oligomers. On the contrary, biophysical methods such as AUC, ITC, SPR, MST, or small-angle X-ray scattering enable the study of protein interactions directly in solution, with cryoEM as a further option to assess the structure of large protein assemblies.
