Funded Activity Summary

Innovative Approaches to Membrane Protein Crystallography & Drug Discovery. Membrane proteins make up around 30% of the predicted products from our human genome, are critical for life, and represent the targets of biological agents like hormones and toxins as well as most drugs. Yet these proteins have persistently defied our best efforts to study them: we know very little about what they do or what they look like. This project is aimed at cracking the problem of membrane proteins, while at the same time developing screening methods that can be used to design drugs against them. The long-term benefits to the community will include fundamental new knowledge and the development of new technologies and pharmaceuticals.
