Tuesday: How to get a structure!
Goals of the day - This will be all about how NMR and x-ray crystallography give us models of proteins.

• My lecture notes on x-ray crystallography
• My lecture notes on structure determination by NMR
• My powerpoint slides on XRays and NMR
• Additional Reading
• Wlodawer et al. (2008) Protein crystallography for non-crystallographers.
• Kwan et al. (2011) Macromolecular NMR for the non-spectroscopist

Thursday: Introduction to Nucleic Acid Structure

• My lecture notes nucleic acid structure
• Read V&V Ch. 7.6, 29 or G&G Ch. 10-11
• My powerpoint slides
• Additional Reading
