We use structural biology (NMR, X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM) combined with cell-based assays, biophysical and biochemical methods to investigate the molecular basis for interactions between pathogens and hosts. We…
In the da Silva Lab, we apply techniques of molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology and physical organic chemistry to unravel the mechanisms of enzymatic reactions catalysed by multi-protein allosteric…
Our work is highly interdisciplinary, lying on the interface of evolutionary biology, animal behaviour, ecology and psychology, and combines a wide variety of empirical and theoretical approaches.
We are interested in understanding biosynthetic processes at the molecular level and combining the tools of organic synthesis, molecular biology and protein biochemistry to generate new natural products of our own…
We are interested in understanding eukaryotic carbohydrate processing enzymes from a structural, mechanistic and functional viewpoint using a combination of techniques including molecular biology, protein expression,…
The Sediment Ecology Research Group (SERG), known popularly as “The Mud Lab” of the Scottish Oceans Institute, University of St Andrews specialises in the investigation of the ecology of aquatic systems, with emphasis…
We study the maturation of snRNP splicing factors and the transport of mature mRNA, with a particular emphasis on their dynamics within the nucleus and differences between neural and non-neural cell types that may be…
We study the evolution and ecology of insect behaviour, particularly sexual and reproductive behaviour.
