Summary
Establishment of the Protein Quantitation Centre of South Australia (PQCSA). Determining the protein quantities in culture cells, plant material, biological fluids and entire organisms will provide critical information regarding biological processes in plants and other organisms. The facility will allow the project to progress the understanding of complex biological systems.

Summary
Hydrogen-deuterium exchange system - a missing link in protein analysis . Proteins are highly dynamic molecules that are essential to life. This project aims to acquire a fully automated and integrated hydrogen-deuterium exchange system, a powerful tool for analysing the motion of proteins and their interactions with other molecules. Expected outcomes include a new capability for biology labs around Australia by (1) increasing success rates of difficult projects that aim to visualise 3D protein ....Hydrogen-deuterium exchange system - a missing link in protein analysis . Proteins are highly dynamic molecules that are essential to life. This project aims to acquire a fully automated and integrated hydrogen-deuterium exchange system, a powerful tool for analysing the motion of proteins and their interactions with other molecules. Expected outcomes include a new capability for biology labs around Australia by (1) increasing success rates of difficult projects that aim to visualise 3D protein structures and (2) providing rapid information about protein interaction sites. Anticipated benefits include the generation of dynamic data that will be highly complementary to static pictures of protein structures. This will enable clever design of new proteins with beneficial uses in the biotechnology industry.Read moreRead less
