Synthesis of small molecule probes for muscular dystrophy-associated enzymes
Background. Most proteins sitting at the surface of our cells are modified with a diversity of complex carbohydrate structures, or glycans. Read more
Engineering Enzymes for Organic Synthesis
Engineering Enzymes for Organic Synthesis. Professor Gideon Grogan, Department of Chemistry, University of York. Background. Our research group is interested in the identification and characterisation of enzymes and their application to organic synthesis. Read more
Identification and characterisation of natural products from fungal non-reducing NRPS-like enzymes
Project Overview. Fungi are a treasure chest of yet unexplored natural products. Read more
Polmorphisms in cytosolic drug metabolising enzymes: a combined proteomics and modelling approach to clinical impact
Cytosolic drug metabolising enzymes such as aldehyde oxidase play a pivotal role in metabolism of drugs. However, research into cytosolic enzymes has been relatively neglected in comparison with membrane bound enzymes such as cytochrome P450 (CYP) and uridine 5’-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). Read more
The chemistry and biophysics of phosphoryl transfer enzymes
One of the most remarkable features of the chemistry of living organisms is the evolutionary utilisation of phosphate esters to provide biopolymers that encode genetic information, deliver temporal protein regulation, generate and distribute free energy throughout the cell, and to provide a ubiquitous handle for metabolic intermediates.

Self-funded project: Uncovering the biological roles of recently discovered carbohydrate-active enzymes in green microalgae.
Photosynthetic microalgae are microbes that have colonized every habitat on Earth, and are paramount in fueling the global ocean biological carbon pump. Read more
Enzymes and antibiotic resistance
A PhD studentships is available to begin in 2022 as part of PREDACTED (. https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101021207. ), a European Research Council project based at University of Bristol. Read more
Hydrolytic enzymes driving colorectal cancer development
We are seeking a high performing undergraduate or Master's student who has a strong desire to undertake a PhD in Dr Rachael Barry’s Research group at Imperial College London. Read more
How do post-translational modifications regulate microtubule severing enzymes?
Microtubule severing enzymes control when and how cells divide therefore they need to be strictly regulated to avoid cutting their substrate indiscriminately. Read more
Chemo-enzymatic Synthesis and Potential Applications of Novel antimicrobial peptides
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is rising to dangerously high levels in all parts of the world. In Europe alone, drug-resistant bacteria are estimated to cause 25,000 deaths annually and cost more than US$1.5 billion every year in healthcare expenses and productivity losses. Read more
Identifying new types of inhibitors in quinone binding sites in photosynthetic enzymes
With the ever-rising global population, there is an increasing need for efficiency and sustainability in agriculture whilst preserving future food security. Read more
Synthetic and Mechanistic Studies into Enzymatic Degradation of Waste Plastics
Plastics are a broad range of solid polymeric materials that have found widespread application as industrial components and consumer goods. Read more
Exploring bacterial enzymes as new targets for treating infectious disease
The Ferrier Institute has established a world-class reputation in nature-inspired synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and analysis and has extended its expertise into the areas of synthetic and chemical biology, chemical immunology, and natural product isolation. Read more
A next-generation genetic technology to identify biotechnologically-valuable enzymes and transporters.
DESCRIPTION. The Synthetic Physiology Laboratory at Flinders University (Adelaide, Australia) is advertising a full-time funded PhD project. Read more
Protein engineering enzymes for Industry
We are interested in key features of the protein sequence - structure - function relationship, and how this information can be translated to health. Read more
