ProjectFOR2327 ViroCarb – Retargeting and Inhibition of Glycan-Binding Polyomaviruses
Basic data
Acronym:
FOR2327 ViroCarb
Title:
Retargeting and Inhibition of Glycan-Binding Polyomaviruses
Duration:
03/01/2016 to 03/01/2019
Abstract / short description:
In this project, we will determine crystal structures of newly emerging polyomaviruses and structurally and functionally characterize their receptor-binding properties. A major emphasis of this work will be on determining parameters that modulate receptor binding and entry, and on developing strategies that can interfere with binding.
