Funded Activity Summary
Structural analysis of membrane proteins using template-mediated crystallization. A new frontier technology will be developed in the form of a systematic crystallization pipeline for membrane proteins. This high throughput monolayer template technology is particularly suited for the structure determination of proteins that are otherwise difficult to crystallize and has clear commercial potential. Membrane protein structures are themselves of value to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry for targeted drug design, which could realise benefits in the form of novel medical treatments and reduced side effects. The monolayer template technology will also extend the capabilities of the National Cryo-EM facility, the infrastructure of which, is open for all Australian researchers.Funded Activity Details
