The lecture will focus on the structural aspects of biomolecules, namely proteins, lipids, saccharides and nucleic
acids. The course will provide the basics of experimental and computational structural biology methods. Students
will get acquainted with the methods of X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron microscopy
and mass spectrometry. Computational methods will include predicting protein structures (homology modelling,
AlphaFold), molecular dynamics simulation, and studying the interaction of small molecules with proteins by
docking methods. Students will also get familiarised with the methods of integrative structural biology. The
applications of the discussed methods will be demonstrated by case studies in selected chapters of cell biology.
