Summary
High performance protein crystallography. This proposal will provide state of the art high performance facilities for protein crystallography, bringing together the major structural biology groups in NSW and the ACT. A renewed focus on protein crystal structures will stimulate new interpretation and utilization of the vast amount of data that has come from genomics, especially the sequencing of the human genome.

This proposal will provide state of the art high performance facilities for protein crystallography, bringing together the major structural biology groups in NSW and the ACT. A renewed focus on protein crystal structures will stimulate new interpretation and utilization of the vast amount of data that has come from genomics, especially the sequencing of the human genome. The proposed facility will generate new research collaborations between the partner institutions which will result in advances in basic life sciences, biotechnology and biopharmaceuticals. The facility will complement regional initiatives in functional genomics, bioinformatics, proteomics and high-field NMR spectroscopy.Read moreRead less
Structural basis of the neuroendocrine enzyme GAD65-mediated autoimmunity in Type 1 Diabetes. More than 80 per cent of patients with Type 1 Diabetes develop antibodies against the neuroendocrine enzyme GAD65. This project will use state-of-the art techniques to study the interaction of GAD65 with antibodies in molecular detail. This will provide key insights into the molecular mechanisms of autoimmune disease.

Summary
Shared resource for protein discovery. This facility will enable the production and characterisation of proteins from all kingdoms of life that have diverse roles in fundamental biology and disease. A detailed understanding of how these proteins behave and function will be used to generate therapeutics and develop novel applications for these proteins in medicine and industry.
