Description of the research topic:
The peptides comprise couple of decades of amino acids. They have very important roles in the living organisms. Practically they can determine every period of the life. We study mostly artificial peptides and investigate how they can influence the biochemical pathways of interest through the protein – protein interaction. The usage of peptides is not restricted to eukaryotes but prokaryotes are examined intensively. We focus on the uptake and transport of peptides. Our student will meet the state-of the-art techniques such as mass-spectrometry based proteomics, however they learn the classical methods e.g. PCR, immuno-staying, standard DNA manipulation etc.
