Course Overview

Our Postgraduate Certificate in Protein Crystallography is an excellent introduction to protein crystallography. It is designed for those who are interested in pursuing a career in this exciting and rapidly expanding field, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, or for those who would like to expand and update their existing scientific knowledge. Up-to-date descriptions of the background, methods, and techniques of protein crystallography are explained, and the program gives the biologically orientated scientist a mainly non-mathematical insight into how protein crystal structures are determined and how results should be judged. You will learn: -the fundamentals of protein structure -X-ray diffraction and symmetry -how to determine structures using protein crystallography -how to judge the quality of co-ordinates.
