Enabling Technologies for Structural Genomics. New technologies will be developed to save time, money and effort in rapid preparation of protein samples for structural genomics. Systems will be devised for preparing sufficient isotope-labelled proteins for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy without using living organisms, for efficiently identifying points at which proteins can be broken into smaller fragments with the right properties, and for joining the ends of proteins and peptides toge ....Enabling Technologies for Structural Genomics. New technologies will be developed to save time, money and effort in rapid preparation of protein samples for structural genomics. Systems will be devised for preparing sufficient isotope-labelled proteins for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy without using living organisms, for efficiently identifying points at which proteins can be broken into smaller fragments with the right properties, and for joining the ends of proteins and peptides together to make them much more stable. This combination of technologies are widely applicable to current problems in protein chemistry, molecular biology, functional genomics and the medical sciences.Read moreRead less
New Techniques for Structural Biology and Directed Molecular Evolution. This PhD program will equip an Australian graduate with advanced training in techniques in molecular genetics and protein chemistry that are currently in high demand by the biotechnology industry, and also provide him/her with direct experience of an industrial R&D laboratory environment. Moreover, it will establish a basis for further collaboration between a leading University-based research laboratory and an established R& ....New Techniques for Structural Biology and Directed Molecular Evolution. This PhD program will equip an Australian graduate with advanced training in techniques in molecular genetics and protein chemistry that are currently in high demand by the biotechnology industry, and also provide him/her with direct experience of an industrial R&D laboratory environment. Moreover, it will establish a basis for further collaboration between a leading University-based research laboratory and an established R&D company that will lead to development of new techniques for use in biotechnology in Australia and overseas.Read moreRead less
