Protein Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research unit Protein Chemistry (SPRO) goes back to 1967 when it was founded thanks to the joint efforts of Prof. R. Jeener (ULB) and Prof. L. Kanarek, who retired a few years ago. Originally, the research activities focused on the immunogenicity of hen egg white lysozyme and its proteolytic fragments. Since the early seventies, the research topics diversified. Over the years the lab developed original technologies for the purification of ...
Viral Genetics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The main expertise of the research group GEVI is molecular genetics of bacteria that are pathogenic for plants and animals. This laboratory contributed significantly to the present widespread application of the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens, as a tool for routine transformation of plants. Agrobacterium- mediated transformation is used by GEVI for the isolation and study of genes involved in plant morphogenesis. In addition, techniques ...
Biocrystallography KU Leuven
The design of new potential drugs is traditionally the domain of the pharmacochemist. In the last decades Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR)-techniques are used more and more to define the 'essential' moieties of a pharmacon. A logical evolution in the search for the relation between the 3D-structure of drugs & their biological activity is the 3D-structure analysis of the biological target molecules and the receptor- ...

Ultrastructure Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The ULTR group was built around Lode Wyns and Serge Muyldermans who started investigating biomolecular structures in the 80's. The initial focus was a biochemical and biophysical analysis of chromatin assembly and structure, necessitating major efforts in the acquisition of the appropriate technological tools, including protein & nucleic acid chemistry, genetic engineering, analytical centrifugation and spectroscopy. In 1989, the long ...
