RESEARCH PROJECTS
The main area of study in the Biological NMR Group at Simon Fraser University is to determine the 3-dimensional structures of apolipoproteins A-I, C-I and C-II in lipid-mimetic environments, structures of their protein-engineered mutants, and their interactions with enzymes (e.g., LCAT and LPL).
A second area of study is agonist/antagonist binding to the nicotinic N-acetylcholine receptor. This is a transferred NOE study.
A third area of study is the structure of bacterial peptides bound to lipids.
