Studies

Structure and dynamics of ordered and disordered proteins by NMR spectroscopy.
Spontaneous isomerisation of –NG– amino acid pairs in naturally occuring sequences. We analyse the speed of isomerisation and its dependence on the sequence and structure of different odered and disordered proteins.
Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) and chaperones, such as ERD14 (Early Response to Dehydration 14). Relationship of their structure/disorder to their chaperon function, analysed by NMR as well as various biochemical techniques.
