Research Summary
Computational design of functional proteins
Research Description
The Oberdorfer group is situated at the Institute on Biochemistry of the Graz University of Technology. The core expertise of the group is in de novo protein design, with a focus on broadening the ‘state of the art’ design methodologies to apply the repertoire of designable structures to biomedical and biotechnological problems. We are currently working on the design of novel enzymes, proteins with geometries ideally suited for DNA nanopore sequencing and the design of artificial fluorescent proteins. To achieve these goals, we follow a very interdisciplinary approach that combines computational biology, structural biology, biochemical and biophysical methods.
