Membrane Proteins

Contents
Experimental research in membrane proteins is a challenging talk and it represents a major frontier is structural biology and nano-technology. Furthermore, membrane proteins are the most important targets of known and new drugs. This course focuses on the analysis of structure and function of well-characterized membrane proteins, and with this background in their chemistry functional aspects of physiology, medicine and poharmacology are included. An active participation is expected of the student, which includes a presentation of an original scientific paper.
