Description of the research topic:
Epigenetics plays an important role in the pathomechanisms of various diseases. Modifications of histone proteins of the nucleosome, the “histone code” is fundamental in understanding of diseases with epigenetic background. In this project, we will study the effect of the modifications on structure and interactions of histones focusing on their role in disease pathomechanisms. Structural bioinformatics tools will be applied in our investigations.
