We are pleased to announce our continuing ISMB Seminar Series for the Autumn/Term 1 2024-25, “Understanding neuronal processes at multiple scales - key questions and new approaches”.
This week's speaker is Ross Anderson from the University of Bristol and their talk, 'Totally wired: amping up the de novo design of bioenergetic protein components', hosted by Amandine Marechal.
Abstract:
The electron and energy conducting circuitry of life represents a virtually untapped resource of exquisite biomolecular engineering at the nanoscale. When unlocked, it will provide access to new proteins, enzymes and biomolecular architectures exhibiting the exceptional properties of their natural counterparts. To this end, we have created a modular platform for the de novo design of proteins containing heme, flavin and other natural or synthetic cofactors, enabling us to both probe fundamental biological processes and create new bioelectronic components. A key feature of these de novo proteins is their robust, native-like structures that facilitate an atomistically precise design process where biophysical properties can be selected.
