Kursens syfte
Kursens lärandemål After the course, the students should have reached correct understanding of the physical basis of the different types of non-covalent interactions and their role in functional properties of protein. Furthermore, the students should have acquired to capacity to correctly devise an experimental strategy within their own research subject and to correctly interpreting experimental results relevant to the topic.
