In the post-genome era, there is a wealth of information about the genomes of many organisms, including humans. The next challenge is to assign and understand the functions of the final genome products proteins, in particular to understand at the molecular and biochemical level the functions of identified disease-linked proteins and those proteins that carry out basic life processes.
The requirement for three-dimensional information is an essential part of this process. With many of the structure determination techniques becoming semi-automatic and routine, there will be a requirement for more broadly trained structural biology researchers who can understand the use of complementary techniques to derive biological function from structure. It is therefore essential that trained structural biologists (for both academia and industry) have knowledge and skills in all macromolecular structural determination techniques.
This is a one-year research-based postgraduate course, which is based at the South Kensington Campus.
Contents
Students complete two 20-week research projects during the year. The projects are designed to give practical experience of laboratory research and opportunities to learn a wide range of skills:
* Biological nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
* Cryo-electron microscopy
* Macromolecular structure-function and structural bioinformatics
* Mass spectrometry
* X-ray crystallography
In addition, there are various tutorials covering protein structural principles, cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography, and NMR. Lecture topics include:
* Macromolecular structure determination
* Macromolecular structure-function relationship
* Macromolecular structure principles and bioinformatics

Requirements
ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS:
To obtain maximum benefit from studies at Imperial College all students must have a good command of the English Language. College therefore requires applicants to have taken an English Language test and achieved an acceptable grade or score before admission can be confirmed. The College Senate has approved the tests set out below. Please note that the scores or grades indicated are the minimum levels generally acceptable to the College. Departments have the discretion to prescribe higher requirements either for specific courses of study or in specific cases where there are serious doubts as to the abilities of individual students to undertake proposed programmes of study.
Students must make arrangements to take the appropriate test well in advance of the start of their course. Places will not be confirmed and students will not be allowed to register until confirmation of an acceptable result has been received as set out below.
* A first degree taught in English within the following countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, Guyana, New Zealand, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States of America, West Indies.
* Candidates whose first degree was not taught in English but who have then successfully completed a one-year MSc (or equivalent) course at a UK university.
* A grade of not less than C in English Language in GCSE, IGCSE, GCE `O´ Level or equivalent.
* A grade of not less than C in the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE).
* A pass in the University Test of English for Speakers of Other Languages (UETESOL).
* British Council IELTS Test
A score of not less than 6.5 including a score of 5.0 or better in the written and spoken English elements of the academic test.
