Research on the pathways involved in ubiquitin-like post-translational modifications to develop novel cancer therapies within the disciplines of biology and biochemistry.Labeled expression, purification, and analysis of proteins involved in cancer by NMR spectroscopy. NMR spectroscopy was performed on either a Bruker 600MHz or 500MHz magnet with Topspin software, usually implementing multidimensional (15N, 13C, 1H) methods. Analysis is carried out using Sparky software for Linux-based… Show more Research on the pathways involved in ubiquitin-like post-translational modifications to develop novel cancer therapies within the disciplines of biology and biochemistry.Labeled expression, purification, and analysis of proteins involved in cancer by NMR spectroscopy.
