High resolution tools to understand the functional role of protein intrinsic disorder (IDPBYNMR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Recent evidence shows that a large share of proteins gain functional advantages by remaining natively unstructured, either completely or partially, thus challenging well-established concepts in structural biology. In order to characterize the highly dynamical nature of such “intrinsically disordered proteins”, and follow their (possible) reorganization by interacting with partners, new integrated ...

European Life-science Infrastructure for Biological Information (ELIXIR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2007, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"The objective of the ELIXIR preparatory phase is to produce a memorandum or memoranda of understanding between organisations (government agencies, research councils, funding bodies and scientific organisations) within the member states, with the purpose of constructing a world class and globally positioned European infrastructure for the management and integration of information in the life scien ...

OLIGOPEPTIDASE INHIBITORS IN BRAIN FUNCTION AND DYSFUNCTION: TOWARDS NEW THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES FOR NEUROPROTECTION (NEUROPRO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"At present more than 5 million people in the EU suffer from dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases and that number will grow as the average age of the population continues to increase. The efficacy of current medicines is limited and new therapeutic targets are sorely needed. Several independent lines of evidence have established an important role of prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP) in brain f ...

Joint efforts to describe the solute effects on the structure and function of bioenergetically and medically relevant proteins and peptides (SESPROT)

Start date: Sep 30, 2010, End date: Mar 30, 2012,

The aim of the project is to carry out biochemical research on the structure and function of bioenergetically and medically relevant proteins and peptides. Numerous diseases are associated with protein or peptide conformational deficiencies of the molecules to be studied.The main activities of the project are: purchase of equipment, experimental research and theoretical research.The direct benefic ...
