This course has been created for people who want to understand the basics of structural bioinformatics including protein-ligand docking and virtual screening, i.e.:
Researchers whose main area or expertise is not a structural bioinformatics, but they want to broaden their knowledge in this field
Computer programmers who are going to deal with structural data (crystal structures, PDB format files, modeling pipelines) or with docking/virtual screening software
Biology, biotechnology and bioinformatics students who want to expand their knowledge into structural bioinformatics and molecular interactions
This course is more like a workshop. The trainer introduces theoretical bases as well as basic pipeline for structure modeling and molecular interactions.
About this course
A Bachelors Degree in biology or related areas is recommended.
