The Swedish Research Council funds protein PTM research at the Dept. of Immunotechnology
Associate Professor (Docent) Magnus Jakobsson from the Dept. of Immunotechnology today received a grant of 4.0 MSEK from the Swedish Research Council to fund exploratory research on protein regulation through so-called post-translational modification (PTM) in human health and disease.
Department researcher uncovers orphan PTM
“Cells synthesize proteins from a DNA template and expand their biochemical repertoire through dynamic and enzyme-catalysed post-translational modifications (PTM). Methylation of the amino acid histidine was first reported in the late 1960s but until recently very little was known about its enzymology, extent and function.
