The Block 1 of this course titled as "Proteins: isolation and separation". This block consists of of 4 units discussing the various interactions among amino acids, that are essential for the maintenance of protein structure as well as the diverse functions exhibited by proteins. Along with this you will also study about extraction of proteins using different biophysical methods. The last two units of this block will discuss about separation techniques ranging from simple fractionation to advanced chromatographic techniques.

Block 2 of this course deals with "characterization and analysis of proteins". This block consists of 3 units where the first unit is dedicated to the characterization of proteins using electrophoresis. The second unit of this block explains about sequencing and analysis of proteins using enzymatic and chemical methods.

The 3rd block of this course will be explaining about structural aspects of proteins. The first unit of this block describes about three-dimensional structure of proteins where you will be learning about bond length, different configurations. Ramachandran plot which is significant in understanding the secondary structure of a protein has been discussed in detail. The third unit of this block explain about protein folding. Last unit of this block which is significant with respect to research in the field of proteins using computer-based skills is "protein structure databases".

The block 4 is the last block of this course which describes the diversity of protein function. First unit narrates about proteins as transport, storage, receptor and signalling molecules. The second unit discusses in detail about the two important proteins like myoglobin and hemoglobin. The last unit is dedicated to specialised proteins in which you will be studying about antibodies and actin myosin filaments.
