Project: Metrology for biomolecular origin of disease
In order for molecular medicine to address global health issues such as viral epidemics, anti-microbial resistance and metastatic cancers, a better measurement infrastructure is required. Central to this is an understanding of how the structure of a molecule (a protein) dictates its activity, or how it behaves. This project will focus on a set of peptides (the building blocks of proteins) chosen for their relation to global health issues. The project will then use a combination of low and high-resolution measurements and molecular dynamic simulations to increase our understanding of the structure-activity relationship for these peptides and to produce a set of first design principles for the prediction of a molecule’s behaviour from its sequence or structure.
