Abstract

Overall aim is to combine new techniques in chemical synthesis and NMR to study relationships between peptide sequence, structure, dynamics and function. We aim to: synthesise 60-residue C-modules from viral receptors with correct folding and di-sulphides; develop techniques for covalently linking pairs of C-modules to give biologically active portions of the receptor; use NMR to determine structure and dynamics of synthetic single and double modules; study complex with synthetic viral peptides; integrate this with functional studies in collaborating lab.
