Slovenian NMR Centre @ National Institute of Chemistry, Ljubljana, Slovenia


Summer School on Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics

Program


The event will consist of invited lectures, workshops with student oral presentations and poster sessions. The Summer School is intended to cover areas of biomolecular NMR and molecular modeling such as: modern NMR methods, protein structure determination, dynamic aspects of biomolecules, protein folding and misfolding, restraints in paramagnetic proteins, structure of nucleic acids, molecular modelling, studies of interactions of small molecules-potential drugs to large biomolecules and the oretical aspects of NMR parameters.
