Evolution, structure and function of key components in a molecular machine. The project will provide the basis for training of students and personnel in the previously recognized priority "Genomes-Phenomes", still the central theme of modern biology. In particular,
collaborations established with the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico will transfer to Australia expertise in the cutting edge discipline of small angle scattering for analysis of biologically important molecules. Such tr ....Evolution, structure and function of key components in a molecular machine. The project will provide the basis for training of students and personnel in the previously recognized priority "Genomes-Phenomes", still the central theme of modern biology. In particular,
collaborations established with the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico will transfer to Australia expertise in the cutting edge discipline of small angle scattering for analysis of biologically important molecules. Such training is essential for developing a future pool of skilled Australian scientists to staff and utilise the major national infrastructure developments represented by the Replacement Research Reactor and Australian Synchrotron, as outlined in the National Research Priority "Frontier Technologies".Read moreRead less
Investigating the subunit interactions of a molecular protein import machine. The project will provide fundamental knowledge of how sophisticated natural molecular machines interact with their substrates in plants and animals. It will also provide the basis for training of students and personnel in a range of structural biology technologies including several that are not commonly used by biologists, but make use of two major facilities that have been invested in by our government, namely the Aus ....Investigating the subunit interactions of a molecular protein import machine.
