Internship Cross-repression within transcription-factor families

Large families of transcription factors, which regulate gene expression by binding to DNA, have been formed by gene duplications and mutational divergence. You will measure this cross-repression within the lac repressor family,...

PhD/Postdoc Chaperoning single proteins

Recently it has become possible to follow the folding of a single protein using single-molecule techniques. However, folding pathways are generally studied for isolated proteins, even though interactions with chaperones are known...
