The Netherlands BAG

European Synchrotron Radiation Facility

Abstract

The Netherlands BAG includes structural biology and enzymology groups situated at six Dutch universities (Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Groningen, Leiden, Utrecht and Wageningen) and at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, with a total of fifteen PIs. While the structural biology research projects carried out in these groups are highly diverse, they can be largely classified into two major themes: (i) research on proteins and systems with a strong biomedical relevance and (ii) research concerning the design of new biocatalysts for green chemistry and new-to-nature reactions. Projects deal with prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins, membrane and soluble proteins, cell surface receptors, and protein-protein, protein-ribonucleotide, protein-drug and enzyme-ligand complexes.
