Using advanced MD simulation for understanding biomolecular mechanism (HAYWARDSU19SF)

University of East Anglia
School of Computing Sciences

Dr S Hayward

Application Deadline: 31 May 2019

Many biomolecules act as molecular machines and have a precise mechanism. Understanding how biomolecules work in detail could bring great advances in medicine and other biotechnologies.

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Discovering the neuronal signalling mechanism at the heart of cardiac arrhythmias

University of Leeds
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership

Dr I Jayasinghe, Prof N Gamper, Prof E White

Application Deadline: 21 January 2019

Background. Cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of mortality and long-term morbidity worldwide. Over 25% of these originate in the heart’s electrically-autonomous (pacemaking) cells without a detectable heart attack.

(BBSRC DTP) Structure and functional study to probe the mechanism of BMP regulation by the chordin family

University of Manchester
Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Prof C Baldock, Prof H Ashe, Dr A Roseman

Application Deadline: 31 January 2019

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are key signalling molecules in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis, and are heavily regulated in the extracellular matrix.

PhD Studentship in Cell and Molecular Biosciences - Elucidating the assembly mechanism of the Tat protein export machinery

Newcastle University
Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences

Prof T Palmer

Application Deadline: 31 January 2019

Number of awards. 1. Start date and duration. 23 September 2019 for 3 years. Overview. The twin arginine protein transport (Tat) system is a conserved and highly unusual protein transport pathway that exports folded proteins across the cytoplasmic membranes of bacteria.

Elucidating the mechanism of SMC complexes

University of Bristol
School of Biochemistry

Prof M Dillingham

Applications accepted all year round

The segregation of bacterial chromosomes is orchestrated by the co-ordinated actions of ParB and condensin [1]. ParB (also called Spo0J) is a site-specific DNA binding protein that binds at and around parS sequences near the origin of replication to form “ParB networks” which define the bacterial centromere [2].
