PURPOSE OF THE COURSE:

The focus of the school will be on the type of information that can be obtained about dynamic processes in protein by NMR, crystallography and other physical methods and the implications for protein and drug design. The current and advanced status in the field of dynamics and structural studies of proteins and nucleic acids will be reviewed.
