Research in the Sgourakis lab focuses on elucidating the structures of important protein complexes involved in Immune recognition of viruses, bacterial secretion and neurodegeneration. Determining the structural basis of protein-protein interactions and self-assembly will help clarify fundamental biological mechanisms and facilitate the design of novel therapeutics. To achieve this, structure-based modelling at sufficient resolution is required. The Sgourakis lab is developing and implementing new tools based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy and complementary sources of experimental data alongside advanced computational sampling methods. The integration of a range of experimental and computational approaches enables structural studies of proteins and their complexes at high resolution.
