VERSION SPECIFIC DATA
course aims in Estonian
Aine eemsärk on anda süsteemne ülevaade biomolekulaarsete interaktsioonide teooriast ja uurimismeetoditest.
course aims in English
The aim of the course is to provide students with systematic overview of theories and methods in the field of biomolecular interactions.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Õppeaine läbinud üliõpilane:
- on omandanud ülevaatliku ettekujutuse biomolekulaarsetest interaktsioonidest ja hindab nende tähtsust;
- hindab kriitiliselt ja kasutab praktiliselt olulisemaid interaktsioonide uurimismeetodeid.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course the student:
- has acquired general knowledge about biomolecular interaction theories and evaluates their importance;
- critically evaluates and uses main methods of biomolecular interaction analysis.
brief description of the course in Estonian
Interaktoomika mõiste. Peamised biomolekulaarsete interaktsioonide tüübid: valk-valk, valk –lipiid, valk-polüsahhariid, valk-DNA, valk-membraan, valk-madalmolekulaarne ühend. Valk-valk interaktsioonide võrgustikud, nende analüüs. Interaktsioonipartnerite identifitseerimine: keemiline ristsidumine, kahe hübriidi süsteemid, kromatograafia, immuunosadestamine. Interaktsioonide visualiseerimine in vivo. Komplekside iseloomustamine ja uurimine: pinna plasmonite resonants, kalorimeetria, kromatograafia, elektroforees, ultracentrifuugimine, termoforees, tuumamagnetresonants, röntgen- struktuuranalüüs, fluorestsentsmeetodid, massispektromeetria. Interaktsioonide termodünaamika: afiinsus ja kineetika. Interaktoomika kasutamine ravimiarenduses
brief description of the course in English
Interactomics as an independent discipline. Main types of biomolecular interactions: protein-protein, protein-lipid, protein-polysaccharide, protein-DNA, protein-membrane, protein-low molecular weight compound. Networks of protein–protein interactions, their analysis. Identification of interactions: chemical cross-linking, two-hybrid systems, chromatography, immunoprecipitation. Characterization and investigations of complexes: surface plasmon resonance, calorimetry, chromatography, electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation, microscale thermophoresis, nuclear magnetic resonance, fluorescence techniques, mass spectrometry. Visualization of interactions in vivo. Thermodynamics of biomolecular interactions: affinity and kinetics. Interactomics in drug development
type of assessment in Estonian
