Researcher Antonio Garcia-Moyano made听a research visit to听the Centre for Biocatalysis at听the University of Exeter, United Kingdom,听hosted by Professor Jennifer Littlechild. Prof. Littlechild leads a group of experts in biochemistry and structural biology.
Main content
The 10-day research visit framed under the ERANet-funded TIPs project, focussed on the search for thermostable isomerases with potential in industrial biotechnology.The research visit aimed听to purify and set for crystallization trials some of the thermophilic disulphide isomerase candidates that antonio and collaborators听have been working on for the last year. Successful protein crystals will be then subjected to X-ray diffraction and their diffraction pattern used for resolving the protein structure. Antonio was later joined by Prof. Nils-K氓re Birkeland for scientific and managerial discussions with some time to socialize.
