Viral Glycoproteins
Keywords: |
molecular biology, glycoprotein folding, viral envelope packing, lipid metabolism, viral and subviral particles assembly, HBV, HCV |
Presentation
The Viral Glycoproteins group was founded in 2002 with the aim to apply the methods developed in the Institute for the study of glycoprotein folding, to a more specific but highly challenging field of molecular biology . the viral envelope packing. The group works in collaboration with the Molecular Cell Biology group and also with colleagues from the Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford, UK and the University of Lyon, France.
In the next years our group will extend the research on the HBV life cycle by studying the role of the lipid metabolism in the viral and subviral particles assembly.
