Learning outcomes
Student should know the basis of computer molecular modeling for large biological molecules Student should be able to apply the basis of computer molecular modeling for large biological molecules The student must know the main topological and physical characteristics of basic biomolecules (in particular, DNA, biomembranes, lipids, enzymes, amino acids etc.). The student should know the types and identities of interaction at different distances of the ions of the main macro- and microelements with the surface of biomolecules. The student should know the peculiarities of the influence of intercellular fluid and aqueous solutions on the structure of biomolecules and the quantitative characteristics of the interaction of various ions with the surface of biomolecules.
