Course Name: Algorithms for protein modelling and engineering

Course abstract

Proteins are responsible for almost all the functions of the living organism including humans. Understanding proteins interactions and functions helps us to understand disease initiation, progression, and aids in drug design. In this regard Bioinformatics, an interdisciplinary area that deals with designing algorithms for biological problems, is a well-established alternative of cost and resource intensive experimental techniques. In this course we shall discuss the algorithms behind the existing Bioinformatics software tools for protein modeling and engineering so that customization of those software can help us to improve applicability. We shall also discuss some of the unique computational challenges and open areas, solving which can significantly improve human life.
