The objective of this module is to provide a deep understanding of structure and function of prokaryotic, eukaryotic cells and Techniques in protein characterization (TIPC). Also account for methods of measurement to study proteomes and metabolomes including their advantages and disadvantages and applications. Lectures are devoted to studying the molecular functions of the different parts of the cell, cell-to cell organization, and current topics of cell biology. Different structure motifs of proteins. Multifunctional enzymes, membrane proteins, prediction of protein structures. Studies of physico-chemical properties of proteins and methodology for studies of these properties: Chemical characteristics of polypeptides, protein engineering, physical interactions determining the properties of proteins, role of hydrophobic interaction, conformation flexibility, protein stability, mechanisms of protein folding, interaction with other proteins, enzyme catalysis.
