		BIOLOGISTS AND LABS
		Paolo Amati Rome, University "La Sapienza". Present projects in Amati's lab include: - Polyoma virus Large T oncogene interaction with cell cycle control and in vitro muscle differentiation. - Expression of the autocrine loop of met kinase receptor and its ligand HGF-SF in muscle cells during active growth and differentation. - Investigating the role of the Polyoma major capsid protein VP1 in the regulation of early viral gene expression through binding to host nuclear matrix. Phil Andrews The Andrews Lab, University of Michigan, US. A Proteomics Group. "One major focus of this laboratory has been the development of new technologies for comprehensive analysis of the responses of living cells to their environment at the molecular level. In particular, ones that can link protein structure information to genome sequence. The initial goal has been to achieve ultra-high throughput analysis of the majority of the proteins present in cells" Jean Beggs University of Edimburgh , UK. " We are studying pre-mRNA splicing in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Pre-mRNA splicing takes place in a very large RNA-protein complex, the spliceosome, within which there are several subparticles, each composed of a small nuclear RNA (snRNA) and a set of proteins. During spliceosome assembly and during the course of the splicing reactions, many dynamic RNA-RNA interactions occur and are apparently regulated by proteins(...). We are investigating molecular interactions in the spliceosome and identifying novel splicing factors, using both biochemical and genetic approaches, including in vitro reconstitution of snRNPs, UV crosslinking and two-hybrid interaction screens". The site hosts the RNA WebRing Francesco Blasi DiBit-HSR, Milano The Burton Group At EBI. "We work in the fied of Bioinformatics with an emphasis of the analysis and prediction of protein Structure" Patrick O. Brown Stanford University. The Brown Lab. Contains a complete guide to microarraying for the molecular biologist Douglas L. Brutlag Stanford University. The Brutlag Bioinformatics Group. "We are interested in the problems of predicting biological function of genes and proteins from their primary sequence, predicting structure of protein and DNA from its sequence, and understanding how and when genes are expressed" Neil Bulleid School of Biological Sciences, Manchester, UK. Some friends from Neil's Lab Craig M. Crews Yale University. "The broad interest of this lab is the chemical approach to biological questions. Current projects explore the mode of action of biologically active natural products in order to investigate intracellular signaling pathways and identify novel targets for drug design" Shoukat Dedhar Gabriel Fenteany Riccardo Fesce Robert Freedman Reid Gilmore       Stephen High School of Biological Sciences, Manchester, UK. "The research in my laboratory is aimed at understanding how proteins are inserted into lipid bilayers to form biologically functional membranes. Proteins must first be targeted to the correct subcellular compartment and then inserted into the membrane of that compartment. Our studies concentrate on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where a large number of both integral membrane and secretory proteins are synthesised" Ari Helenius Linda Hendershot Erwin Ivessa Chris Kaiser Ron Kopito Armin Lahm Harvey Lodish The Molecular Imaging Group At the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Check out the "Direct Visualization of Regulatory Protein-DNA Complexes and Mutations using Atomic Force Microscopy" page. Impressive DNA-protein interaction images Richard Morimoto Ira Mellman Bruce Nicholson "Our laboratory is interested in defining the structure and properties of the unique class of membrane channels called gap junctions that allow the direct passage of ions, small metabolites and secondary messengers between cells. The proteins that comprise these channels, a family called connexins in the vertebrates , are diverse in nature, with multiple members of the family being expressed in most cells and tissues" Tom Rapoport Mariano Rocchi David Ron Michael Snyder Yale University Julie Theriot The Theriot Lab. This lab have a MISSION (possible). Check it out! Ulrich Theopold Anna Tramontano Antony Watts Director of the Biomembrane Structure Unit in Oxford University, UK. The main research interests of the Watts group focus on the study of the structure of small molecules when at their site of action in membrane-bound proteins whilst in their native, fully functional form in membranes. In addition, peptides which form channels in membranes are being studied to high resolution using solid state NMR methods.
