Structural Proteomics

Joel Sussman, Israel Silman, Yigal Burstein, and Gideon Schreiber are currently leading the structural proteomics effort at the Weizmann Institute. The aim of the new Israel Structural Proteomics Center is to conduct structural analyses of a large number of proteins in parallel, and to combine the expertise of researchers from different fields. The Center is expected to significantly advance basic knowledge in this vast realm of inquiry, which could lead to important biomedical applications. As part of this effort, Gideon Schreiber is responsible for the protein expression part of the project, as well as being a member pf the steering committee.
