Yves-Henri SANEJOUAND (Lyon)

Proposed contents of the lectures:

Biophysics of biomolecules

1) Protein structure and dynamics

a) Protein folding

What are the energetic terms involved in the stabilization of protein structure ?

On-lattice models. Off-lattice models. More detailled ones.

b) Protein conformational changes

Local and collective functional motions.

Low-frequency normal modes.

Detailled, coarse-grained and elastic-network models.

2) Dissipation of energy in proteins
