Funded Activity Summary

Advanced Chemical Protein Synthesis and Applications. This project aims to develop enhanced methods for the chemical assembly of peptides, oligonucleotides and proteins. This will lead to the creation of new knowledge in chemistry and structural biology, and underpin advances in the drug discovery process, pharmaceutical manufacture and biocatalysis. Once complete, it is expected that lower cost, greener processes for manufacturing drugs such as Enfuvirtide (for HIV) will ensue. A new generation of hyper-stable, environmentally friendly catalysts will also be developed. This could enable domestic production of fine chemicals and essential medicines, and thus create high-tech jobs in a more diversified, resilient economy. Ultimately, it could lead to improved outcomes in human health.
