Grant for Neutron Research awarded by NordForsk

2016-12-08

Marie Skepö (PI), has in collaboration with Lise Arleth and Kresten Lindorff-Larsen at University of Copenhagen, and Jens Preben Morth at University of Oslo, been awarded 6.8 MNOK for studying the structure of membrane proteins under solution conditions.

The aim is to understand how the lipid environment influences the activity of membrane proteins, using the active transporter MgtA as benchmark system, and to investigate the dynamic fluctuations between lipid and protein in solution. Three PhD-students will be accepted within this framework. All projects will apply and develop the use of neutron scattering in combination with computer simulations as well as other experimental techniques.
