Experimental methods for the purification, analysis and characterization of proteins and nucleic acids. Work on small research projects.

This laboratory course is compulsory for physics students with the elective subject biophysics. The topic of the work is determined individually, and will be in the context with ongoing research projects. Possible topics are NMR investigations with proteins, NMR structure determination of proteins in solution, development of novel NMR experiments, studies of protein folding.

This lecture course targets physics students and students of interdisciplinary sciences (major physics) for their education in biophysics. In this course the basics of molecular biology are presented bearing in mind the special interests of the physics students.

In this seminar series, topics relevant to solution state NMR with biological macromolecules are treated. Each semester a different aspect of biomolecular NMR is discussed in depth. The course is tailored to advanced students (PhD students and postdocs) who have experience with applications of NMR spectroscopy. Each participant presents a selected topic in form of a seminar.

The course gives insight into the methodology, areas of application and limitations of the two principal methods for the structure determination of biological macromolecules.

In this block course, students actively participate in ongoing research projects in the research groups of Profs. Allain, Wüthrich and Dr. Gossert. The students will be tutored in their experimental work by experienced postdoc students. In addition, the course includes specific lectures that provide the theoretical background for the experimental work, as well as exercises and literature work.

The course provides an overview of experimental methods for the determination of high-resolution structures of macromolecules.
