Course content
During the study of the course much attention is paid to the formation of students' ideas about the structure and functioning of biological structures. The subject of the discipline "Structural Biology" covers the study of the basic principles of structural biology and biophysical methods of studying the spatial structure of biomacromolecules and the peculiarities of their application in the study of biological macromolecules and interactions between them. During the study of the discipline attention is paid to the practical application and importance of certain methods in biomedical and biophysical research.
