THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: University of Szeged
biology
Doctoral School of Biology

Thesis supervisor: Zsolt Szegletes
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Institute of Biophysics, Biological Research Centre of Hungarian Academy of Sciences
Abbreviation of location of studies: SzBK


Description of the research topic:

We examine the interaction of polyelectrolyte films based nanostructures adsorbed on different surfaces with biological substances (proteins, peptides, lipids). These results may have a great impact in all respects because these peptides have effects on molecules of membrane structure and start a cascade in molecular pathways with not known mechanism. The improved new AFM technique would be resulted a novel testing system for natural chemical agents for biology activity of different molecules. The final result will be a deposit of identified and characterized genes, metabolites and methods useful both in the further basic studies as well as in the further structure-function studies.
