protein structure PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 87 protein structure PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Structure-based design of allosteric modulators for G protein-coupled receptors using molecular modelling and pharmacology experiments

Almost all physiological processes are regulated through the activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It has become widely accepted that most GPCRs possess binding sites spatially distinct from their natural ligand binding site (orthosteric site), termed as allosteric sites. Read more

Structure-function relationships governing polyphenol bioactivity with respect to plasma membranes

This project aims to investigate polyphenol binding to lipid membrane surfaces with a view to understanding how polyphenol structure and aggregation within the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) affects the bioavailability of these nutraceuticals. Read more

Untangling how Shelterin safeguards telomere structure and stability - one molecule at a time

Background. Telomeres solve two problems with linear chromosomes. the end-replication problem, DNA loss from the end of chromosomes every replication cycle; and the end-protection problem, protection of the chromosome ends to prevent chromosome fusions. Read more

Using lipid nano-particles to study G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

This exciting PhD project in the laboratory of Professor Mark Wheatley, Professor of Biochemical Pharmacology is a joint PhD between Coventry University and Stellenbosch University with the student being registered for a PhD at both universities. Read more

Protein engineering enzymes for Industry

Project Overview. We are interested in key features of the protein sequence - structure - function relationship, and how this information can be translated to health. Read more

Control of bone shape and function by the extracellular matrix Fibrillin-1

Bones are tightly regulated structures that remodel their structure to adapt to changes in their mechanical environment. With ageing, this mechanical response is often dampened, leading to bone loss and weakness. Read more

Understanding interactions of proteins with polymer-coated nanoparticles

Introduction. Polymer-coated nanoparticles are promising drug delivery vehicles. Multiple functionalities can be embedded into the nanoparticle structure to enable uptake of the drug-like molecules, their targeted delivery and controlled release. Read more

Understanding the evolution of gene regulatory networks through biophysical modelling and machine learning

The ability to coordinate the expression of genes within a cell is at the heart of life. When and how much of a specific gene is turned into a protein is essential for organisms to respond to their environment and to manage resources. Read more

Fully funded PhD student position in structural biology of viruses

PhD position in the structural biology of viruses. The Department of Chemistry is opening a PhD position in Chemistry with a specialization in structural biology. Read more

MSc By Research: Molecular mechanism for Wapl-mediated releasing of cohesin from DNA

The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
