New publication from Poul Nissen's group - Expression strategies for structural studies of eukaryotic membrane proteins
In collaboration with Bjørn Pedersen's group, Aarhus University. Integral membrane proteins in eukaryotes are central to various cellular processes and key targets in structural biology, biotechnology and drug development. However, the number of available structures for eukaryotic membrane protein belies their physiological importance. Recently,…
Charlotte Skovgaard Sørensen started as a postdoc in Team Leader Magnus Kjærgaard's group per 1 June 2016. Charlotte will investigate the functional and structural properties of linking domains in protein complexes and how these properties affects the effective concentrations in signaling complexes.
