Protein Manipulation using Peptides: Opportunities & Challenges
Time: 3:00 pm
day: Day Two
Details:
- Protein manipulation refers to the ability to degrade proteins using either proteasomal or lysosomal pathways, to relocate proteins within the cell, and to modulate the interactions of the target protein with other proteins
- Short peptides can be effective agents to manipulate intracellular proteins
- Strengthening or weakening of protein/protein interactions using rational design can be achieved to hit therapeutic targets
