Laboratoř strukturní bioinformatiky proteinů

Výzkum se soustředí na pochopení strukturních a funkčních vlastností biologicky významných molekul a jejich interakcí pomocí nástrojů strukturní bioinformatiky a molekulového modelování. V rámci BTÚ a BIOCEV spolupracujeme zejména na analýze strukturních dat, návrhu proteinových mutací a návrhu ligandů a inhibitorů studovaných proteinů.

  Studované systémy

• Analýza konformačního chování oligopeptidových bloků v proteinech.
• Návrh stabilních proteinových scaffoldů vhodných pro mutagenezi.
• Identifikace proteinových residuí klíčových pro rozpoznávání a sílu interakcí.
• Vývoj a testování výpočetních metod a postupů pro modelování struktury a vlastností biomolekul a jejich komplexů.
• Vývoj nových výpočetních metod a parametrů pro popis vlastností a interakcí navržených ligandů a inhibitorů.

  Metody

• Homologní modelování.
• Molekulová dynamika (MD).
• Ab initio kvantově chemické výpočty.
• In silico mutageneze.
• Dokování protein/protein a ligand/protein.

• Strukturní bioinformatika proteinů
