Dear All,we have a job opening for a PhD researcher (contract up to 3 years) to work in a multidisciplinary project at the interface of Structural Biology, Biochemistry and Microbiology.
Very briefly, the project aims at the structural and functional characterization of mycobacterial membrane enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of cell wall components using a combined approach of X-ray Crystallography and Cryo-Electron Microscopy. It will also involve activity assays to provide insights into the reaction mechanism of these glycosyltransferases, synthesis of chemical compounds that may inhibit these enzymes, virtual screens, docking and molecular simulations.
The project is developed in close collaboration with Filippo Mancia, Columbia University (New York, USA).
To learn more about this project check the attached file or send an email to Margarida Archer (archer@itqb.unl.pt).
