Summary
Single-crystal X-ray structures present the gold-standard of structure determination of protein-ligand complexes but critically depend on the availability of single crystals and their capacity to diffract in the X-ray beam. In this project, new NMR and EPR methods are sought to identify the binding site of a high-affinity peptide ligand on its target protein.
Relevance to the Centre
This project aligns with the Centre’s aim to decode the function of peptides.
