Description
This course looks at the analysis and prediction of the 3D structure of biological macromolecules such as proteins, RNA and DNA. It explores generalisations in 3D macromolecular structure such as comparisons of general folding and local motives, the principles of molecular folding, evolution and interaction of unions and structure/function relationships, working with both experimentally resolved structures and computational models.

Baldomero Oliva
Lecturer
Structural Bioinformatics
PhD in Chemistry, specialising in Biotechnology (UAB)
Baldo Oliva graduated in chemistry in 1987 and did a PhD in Biotechnology at the UAB in 1992, under the supervision of Professor E. Querol and Professor F. X. Avilés. The main core of his doctorate was done in the Department of Physical Chemistry under the supervision of Professor O. Tapia in Uppsala, Sweden. He studied molecular modelling at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, in the UK, supervised by Dr M. J. E. Sternberg. Between 1992 and 2001 he worked at the Institute of Fundamental Biology. He is currently professor of Structural Biology at the UPF.
