Learning outcomes

Course Description: The course introduces fundamental tools and techniques currently used to engineer protein molecules. Covers the methods used to analyze the impact of these alterations on different protein functions with specific emphasis on enzymatic catalysis. Uses case studies to reinforce the concepts covered, as well as to demonstrate the wide impact of protein engineering research.
Course Significance: Protein engineering is an interdisciplinary field where engineering principles and practices are utilized to generate molecules with novel properties.
The applications of this technology can be found in diverse areas including: drug discovery,
industrial chemical synthesis, transgenic plant research, and nanotechnology.

Program

1. Protein Engineering
• General concepts
• Which targets can be addressed?
• How to choose between rational design and evolutive methods.
2. Generation of mutant libraries
• Random mutagenesis, DNA shuffling, Error-prone PCR
• Saturation mutagenesis, SeSaMmethod et
• Examples for successful applications: Directed evolution of DCase; Directed evolution of alpha amylase
• Site-directed mutagenesis. Mutagenic primer design.

3. Emerging principles in protease-based drug discovery. Aspartate proteases inhibitors: inhibitors of HIV protease.
4. The Tumor Suppressor p53: From Structures to Drug Discovery.
Structure–function–rescue: the diverse nature of common p53 cancer mutants.
5. Structure and catalytic mechanism of COX-1 and COX-2. From structure to rational design of selective inhibitors.

Attendance modes and venues

As stated in the Didactic Regulations, there is no generalised obligation of attendance. Individual lecturers are, however, free to require a minimum number of hours of attendance for eligibilitỳ for the profit exam of the teaching they teach. In such cases, attendance of teaching activities is monitored in accordance with procedures communicated in advance to students.

Part-time enrolment is permitted. Find out more on the Part-time enrolment possibilities page.

The course's teaching activities take place in the Science and Engineering area, which is composed of the buildings of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2, Ca' Vignal 3 and Piramide, located in the Borgo Roma cluster, and Villa Lebrecht and Villa Eugenia located in the San Floriano di Valpolicella cluster. 
Lectures are held in the classrooms of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2 and Ca' Vignal 3, while practical exercises take place in the teaching laboratories dedicated to the various activities.
