  Computer-aided molecular design: improved ligand docking using electronic structure and molecular dynamics simulations
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr R A Bryce, Dr N Burton
Applications accepted all year round
In structure-based drug design, computational modelling techniques are frequently used to predict the orientation and affinity with which a ligand binds to its protein receptor.

  The molecular structure and function of the synaptonemal complex in chromosome synapsis and recombination during meiosis
Newcastle University Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences
  Dr O Davies
Application Deadline: 11 January 2019
Meiosis, the process of reductive cell division, is essential for fertility and genetic diversity in all sexually reproducing organisms.

  Efficient calculation of binding free-energies and druggability in challenging drug targets
University College London Department of Chemistry
  Prof F Gervasio
Application Deadline: 3 June 2019
This four year PhD research project, due to start in October 2019, is a collaboration between University College London and UCB pharma, a global biopharmaceutical company (www.ucb.com).

  Structural investigation of interactions within the tripartite drug-efflux pumps in Gram-negative bacteria.
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Dr VN Bavro, Dr K Futterer
Applications accepted all year round
Tripartite multidrug efflux-pumps are key contributors to the rising global problem of multidrug resistance in Gram-negative bacteria.

  Discovery of ubiquitin-conjugation enzyme inhibitors from marine natural products.
University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
  Prof M Auer, Dr N Carragher
Application Deadline: 13 December 2018
Ubiquitination is a key biochemical event which regulates most cell processes. Proteins are modified with ubiquitin, or ubiquitinated, through a series of reactions involving the E1, E2 and E3 enzymes.

  Exploring the boundaries of the human acetylome
University of Leicester Molecular and Cell Biology
  Dr S Cowley, Prof D Panne
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
Lysine acetylation (Lys-Ac) is an abundant post-translational modification (PTM) occurring on thousands of proteins. However, our understanding of ‘acetylome’ regulation and its functional consequences remains well behind other common PTMs such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination.

Type/Funding
  Exploiting druggability host spots in protein phosphatase targets
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr L Tabernero, Prof D Procter, Dr S Butterworth
Applications accepted all year round
In the past years the use of virtual screening or computer-based screening of compound libraries against selected targets has expanded exponentially the boundaries of drug discovery.

  (BBSRC DTP) A computational model for improving catalytic rate in enzymes.
University of Manchester School of Chemistry
  Dr J Warwicker, Dr S De Visser, Dr S Hay
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
This project will use computational approaches to couple a widely accepted feature of importance in enzyme activity to visualisation and prediction.
Details
Type/Funding
  Identification, screening and scale up of enzymes in the Biocatalyst Discovery Metagenomics platform
University of Manchester School of Chemistry
  Prof N Scrutton, Prof N Turner
Applications accepted all year round
Background – Enzyme engineering strategies, supported by computational and molecular modelling to maximise speed and efficiency, has been shown to be a powerful tool for (semi-) rational design of enzymes.1,2 We will evaluate protein mobility/dynamics, docking/binding of substrates and calculation of free energy barriers for catalysis.
