| Programme duration | 2 years |
| Programme description | The programme focuses on biological macromolecules and complexes or arrays of macromolecules. It deals with the conformation, shape, structure, conformational changes, dynamics, and interaction of such systems. The research part of the programme will focus on a limited number of projects: a) Interaction between metal ions and nucleic acids, b) Association between DNA and plant pigment, c) Metal ion-induced transitions in polysaccharides. The experimental work will involve several techniques, especially high-field NMR spectroscopy. |
