Current courses

This course covers modern methods for visualizing, studying the structure and interactions of biological molecules. Its main goal is to tell students about the possibilities and limitations of each of the most popular methods and explain how to choose the simplest and most effective approach to answer a specific experimental question.

The course consists of several blocks, which will be taught by experts in their respective fields: Fluorescence spectroscopy (Vasyl Pyvovarenko, KNU); Fluorescence microscopy (Yuriy Kovalchuk, University of Tübingen; Petro Khoroshyy, IOCB Prague); Electron microscopy (Nina Bondarenko, Hanover Medical School/DNU); LC-MS and basics of proteomics (Oleg Lushchak, PNU/LMS London); other methods of structure determination (Volodymyr Shvadchak, PNU).

Practical work will cover the workflow of processing real experimental data sets from fluorescence and CD experiments, planning chromatographic experiments, in-depth work with fluorescence microscopy images using ImageJ.

The course consists of 26 lectures and 14 seminars/practical classes. Lectures and seminars of this course will last one and a half hours each. For seminars, students will be divided into 2 groups.

All classes will be given in Ukrainian.
