About the project
This PhD research project will combine protein biochemistry and molecular biology methods, and will provide detailed training into how to analyse gene and protein function. It will analyse and define catalytic and DNA binding activities of proteins identified in archaea with homologues in mammals that are associated with DNA repair and genome stability diseases. The project will focus on putative nuclease and helicase enzymes. Further information, including references, can be obtained from Dr. Edward Bolt (ed.bolt@nottingham.ac.uk).
