Abstract

Basics of protein structureMetal cofactors and their interactions with proteinsAnalysis of key metalloenzymes including: Hydrolases, Oxygenases, Oxidases, Hydrogenases, Nitrogenase, Redox-proteins, Oxygen evolving complex, Photosystem II, Metal trafficking in cells, Metal homeostasis, DNA-binding proteins, Biomimetic chemistry, Artificial Metalloenzymes etc.Metals in medicine

Objective

Identify key features of metalloenzymes and enzyme mimics Deduce and draw reasonable reaction mechanisms catalyzed by metalloenzymes Understand the role of metalloenzymes in solving energy-related grand challenges Design functional enzyme mimics Critically analyze the structure and function of metalloproteins
