IISER Bhopal Scientists Invent Technology for Precision Engineering of Proteins – India Education | Latest Education News | Global Educational News
BHOPAL: Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal researchers invented a new technology that can deliver active molecules to specific sections of proteins. Scientists at IISER Bhopal have carried out studies on the “engineering” of protein molecules in recent years. Their serial technological breakthrough has gained in-depth insight into the chemical properties of these molecular machines. With this understanding, they developed the first modular platform for the precision mechanics of proteins. The chemical modification of proteins is essential for the understanding of protein functions and the development of therapeutics and diagnostics. The research team of the Departments of Chemistry and Biological Sciences at IISER Bhopal includes, among others, Dr. Vishal Rai, Dr. Ram Kumar Mishra, Dr. Sanjeev Shukla, Dr. Srinivasa Rao Adusumalli, Dr. Dattatraya Gautam Rawale and Dr. Neetu Kalra others who worked on this novel research.
