Funded Activity Summary

Structure and Function of the AMP-activated protein kinase. The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a member of the metabolic stress sensing protein kinase subfamily that is present in all eukaryotes, including the yeast homologue, snf1p protein kinase essential for adapting to growth without glucose. The AMPK plays an important role in matching metabolism to nutrient supply and energy demand of perhaps all physiological processes. The aim of this project is to understand the structure and function of the AMPK. This work may provide important opportunities for drug design, understanding the impact of metabolism and ageing as well as increasing our knowledge of signalling pathways that control cellular events.
