About

The Fellowship in Structural Biology of 14-3-3 Protein Complexes programme is offered by the Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague.

Overview

Aims of the Fellowship in Structural Biology of 14-3-3 Protein Complexes offered by Charles University are: 

  • structural analysis of 14-3-3 protein complexes with protein kinases ASK1, CaMKKI and CaMKKII using chemical cross-linking, H/D exchange coupled to mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and protein crystallography;
  • identification and characterization of small molecules that stabilize these complexes. High-throughput screening, fragment-based ligand discovery, and virtual screening will be used to identify initial stabilizers. Subsequently, biophysical and structural methods will be used to characterize these molecules and their stabilizing activity towards their respective 14-3-3 complexes.
