PhD studentship on Modelling structure and inter ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
This studentship lasts 3.5 years starting October 2018.
It is on Modelling structure and interactions of antibodies and antigens . Knowledge of antibody structure is vital for medicine and biotechnology. Fast, accurate protocols incorporating flexibility and antibody-antigen binding will be developed and validated against structures from experiment. Modelling is aided for antibodies by division into highly variable antigen binding loops and a relatively invariant scaffold.
The project will be aided by studies using the GW4 shared facility for cryo-microscopy at Bristol which will transform analysis of the molecular components of living systems. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2017 was awarded to Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson "for developing cryo-electron microscopy for the high-resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution"
The studentship is funded by the GW4 BioMed Doctoral Training Partnership, DTP
