Funded Activity Summary

Function, Mechanism and Dynamics in Fluorescent Proteins: a Computational Investigation. The rich reservoir of chromoproteins and fluorescent proteins in the ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef offers Australia a unique natural advantage for the development of a niche biotechnology industry based on fluorescent markers for cellular biology and biomedical imaging. This project provides a crucial component of the science that is necessary for developing such an industry: a molecular-level knowledge of how these proteins function and how we can manipulate and enhance their properties as imaging agents. It will achieve fundamental advances in biomolecular modelling techniques, train graduates with exceedingly valuable skill sets as well as deriving knowledge that aids the development of Australia's biotech industries.
