Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
This project will use biochemical techniques to help understand the function of an important pathogenic serine protease from Chlamydia. The project will involve biochemical and molecular skills. The project will also involve some infectious diseases research skills. This project will be aiming to understand the role of this protease in pathogenesis by characterising its biochemical mechanisms.
Hypothesis/Aims Active site folding residues are involved in the HTrA mechanism of proteolysis
Approaches: Biochemistry, molecular microbiology, site directed mutagenesis
