Then, concrete examples (e.g. β-lactamases, single-domain antibody fragments, lysozymes) will be analysed in detail, on the basis of theoretical background (briefly reviewed during the course) and data found in the literature. <br></div><div><br></div></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font face="garamond, times new roman, serif" size="4">------------------------<br>
