(BBSRC DTP) How does ageing affect protein homeostasis and structure?

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

In this project, we propose to examine how the mechanisms that protect protein homeostasis are affected by ageing. Besides the requirement that proteins are expressed in sufficient quantity, they must also be correctly folded in order to maintain healthy function. Read more

Chaperones and the response to protein misfolding stress

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Misfolded proteins are usually refolded to their functional conformations or degraded by quality control mechanisms. When misfolded proteins evade quality control, they form aggregates that are sequestered to specific sites within cells. Read more
