Functional protein dynamics studied by solution- and solid-state NMR spectroscopy (ProtDyn2Function)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,
Proteins are highly flexible objects that perform their functions by sampling a wide range of conformations. The characterization of such motions is, therefore, crucial to establish the link between protein structure and function. In this project we will use advanced nuclear magnetic resonance in solution state and solid state to characterize functionally important motions in two challenging class ...

Commercialization and Dissemination of Innovative Isotopic Labelling Solutions and Services for the NMR Studies of Important Protein Targets (NMR-BIO)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
"With the strong support of the ERC Starting Grant, our team has succeeded in developing a range of labelled precursors and kits for simple and efficient labelling of large proteins (up to 1 MDa size) for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) studies. With such cutting-edge technologies in hand, the PI’s team is able to investigate the mechanism of action of large and functional cellular machines using ...

Phosphate signaling in plants: dynamic study of phosphate movements and gene induction kinetics (PhosphEurUS)
Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
Because phosphate is a major component of all cells, a deficiency in this mineral can have a dramatic impact on the physiology of any living organism. Unfortunately, we still have a very partial understanding of the signaling pathways involved in the acquisition, detection and homeostasis control of this nutrient. This project aims to increase our understanding of the mechanisms triggered by the d ...

Control of Light Use Efficiency in Plants and Algae - From Light to Harvest (HARVEST)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
"Photoprotection against excess absorbed light energy is an essential and universal attribute of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. This requirement has been a strong force in the evolution of plants and micro-organisms, and a diverse range of solutions have arisen. It has determined survival, productivity and habitat preference, and it determines the ceiling on the efficiency of energy conversion ...
