Research Research Projects Playing tag with proteins This is one of the big unsolved challenges in biochemistry: how to direct the tag to a single site, ideally inside cells in the presence of other proteins and cell metabolites. The project employs unnatural amino acids for the attachment of fluorophores, EPR tags and NMR tags. school Student intakeThis project is open for Honours, Master, PhD and Summer scholar students. group Group Groups Otting Group traffic Project status Project status Potential Contact contact_support Contact Contact name Gottfried Otting Contact position Group Leader Contact email gottfried.otting@anu.edu.au Content navigation toc About How can the essential features of a protein be analysed quickly? Attach a tag! In this project, we develop new methods by which chemical tags can be attached specifically to single selected sites.
