Structural Bioinformatics (WS 2004/2005)

News:

QCheck package is available for downloading now.
We got some problems with the old forms in EVA. So please do NOT use any of the two old forms, which are called: "Structural Bioinformatics" and "Structural Bioinformatics PLEASE USE THIS FORM", respectively. Instead, we generated a new form for you: "Structural Bioinformatics NEW". You need new passwords to access it. So please come to Hongbo's office to get your new passwords. We apologize for the inconvenience!
Please send us your feedback via EVA before April 22, 2005. Thanks!
We prepared a list of topics relevant for the exam.
The date for the oral exam is April 5th, 2005 in the afternoon.
There was an error in eq 20 of the script on quaternions of the Nov 9 lecture. This typo is fixed now (19.1.2005; 12:50).
Students with the following matriculation numbers have signed up for our semester-project.

Teachers: Francisco Domingues, Ingolf Sommer

Tutor: Hongbo Zhu

Language: English

Time and location:

Course: Tuesday, 11:15-13 h, Building 45, Room R 016.
Starting Tuesday, October 19, 2004.
Last lecture Tuesday, February 15, 2005.

Tutorials: The lecture will be complemented by a programming-project. Please sign up for the programming project until October 27. In order to do so send a mail to Hongbo Zhu with subject "STR04: signup" and your name and matrikel number in the mail body.
Office hours:
Francisco Domingues: Tuesday, 14h - 15h, Building 46 (MPII), Room 526.
Ingolf Sommer: Tuesday, 14h - 15h, Building 46 (MPII), Room 506.
Hongbo Zhu: Tuesday, 14h - 15h, Building 46 (MPII), Room 517.

Prerequisites:

The course is targeted towards bioinformatics students, who have succesfully completed 'Computational Biology / Bioinformatics II' given by Thomas Lengauer.

Requirements for the course certificate:

There will be one project along with the course during the whole semester. The project will consist of reading, programming, writing a brief report, and giving a short presentation. Participating successfully in the project is a necessary requirement for taking the oral exam. The final grade will be 25% semester-project and 75% oral exam. The course is within the curriculum bioinformatics as an optional course ("Spezialvorlesung") with 5 credit points ("Leistungspunkten").

Overview:

The course provides three perspectives on protein structure and function: principles of protein science, computational techniques, and applications. Topics covered include structure determination, geometric techniques for handling and comparing structures, structure prediction applications, biochemistry and prediction of protein function.
