Structure of the review:
The review
must have a title, an abstract, an introduction, several chapters and an
outlook/future perspective section at the end.
Title: must be informative and representing the
content
Abstract (15 % of total grade)
1-2
sentences background information, then one or more sentence on what the reader
can expect from this review (most important issues). The last sentence should
describe the impact of this information on the field. The abstract is limited
to < 150 words.
Introduction (15 % of total grade)
Introduce
the broader topic; make clear to the reader why the information/chapters you
will discuss are of importance.
Chapters (60 % of total grade)
Each chapter deals with one aspect of the review topic;
usually reviews have 2-4 chapters. In each chapter relevant results are
described, discussed and placed in a logical connection/context. You should put
the results from the different papers in a logical context and explain how they
complement (or contradict?) each other. The experimental approach for each
result can be mentioned briefly (“by using xx technique”), however it can be
discussed more in depth if results are not consistent with each other. You
should also mention open questions and lacking knowledge, if possible, with the
approach that could be used to address the question.
Do not forget that each statement/finding in your review
should be supported by a citation! Concerning citation format, you can choose
between citing with numbers or using first author name plus et al., but
be sure you use a consistent format throughout your review.
Outlook /future perspectives (10 % of total grade)
This final
part of the review sums up the most important outcome from the chapters and
then gives a broad-scale outlook on the future. Which developments are to be
expected? What can the reader expect from this field within the next years?
Throughout
the whole review please pay attention to correct terminology.
Aims:
Overview
of recent advances in molecular disease research based on protein
structure.
Insight
into the relation between protein structure/(mal-) function.
Insight
into the relation protein (mal-) function/disease.
TOPIC: Energy Metabolism as the
Target of Antibiotics in Tuberculosis
Content:
Important
aspects that should be part of your review are:
Which
medical problem is studied and which proteins are involved?
What is
already known about structure and function of these proteins? This must be a
central point in your report/presentation.
What is
not known yet? What information is missing?
How
could you use (already existing and/or future) insight in structure and
function of these proteins to solve or prevent the medical problem?
