Course content
The subject of the educational discipline "Computational Biology" is the study of structural and dynamic properties of the main classes of biopolymers using modern calculation methods. The course examines in detail the most common approaches to the study of spatial structure, structural and dynamic properties of the main classes of biopolymers, their main physico-chemical properties foundations of functioning and conformational changes by ab initio methods.
