style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><BR><BR>One of the major challenges of modern
structural biology is the structural determination at high resolution of
biomolecules that are not amenable to crystallography or NMR. This includes
biomolecules that are natively unstructured and large dynamic assemblies. The
challenge in tackling these systems lies in combining a range of structural and
biophysical techniques into an integrated approach capable of utilising both low
resolution and high resolution techniques in combination.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><BR>This research will be carried out between the
Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory at Harwell (UK) and the National Centre for
Macromolecular Hydrodynamics at The University of Nottingham (UK). The student
will be trained in and utilise a wide range of structural and biophysical
techniques including small angle scattering, analytical ultacentrifugation,
protein crystallography, High-field NMR, small angle x-ray and neutron
scattering and protein expression and site-directed mutagenesis. In addition
they will be closely involved in the development of modelling approaches to
combine the data from these techniques to produce cohesive models of large scale
and/or flexible structures.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
