Opis:
We seek motivated candidates with a MSc degree in (bioorganic) chemistry or related field, fluent English and a strong interest in chemistry of nucleotides and oligonucleotides. The successful candidate should have experience in organic synthesis and bioorganic/medicinal chemistry, knowledge of methods for compound purification and spectroscopic characterization. Skills in enzymatic assays, studying protein-ligand interaction by biophysical methods, and experience in biochemistry will also be appreciated.
The position will involve design, synthesis and studying properties of novel nucleotide analogs and development of new synthetic methods for the preparation of nucleotide analogs. The project will involve synthesis of molecular rotors, TMG cap analogues modified with molecular rotors, TMG capped oligonucleotide conjugates, and studies on degradation and interactions with proteins.
Description of the position
Synthesis of trimethyl cap analogs modified with molecular rotors and their application in nuclear transport studies.
The trimethyl cap structure (TMG cap), which is located at the 5’end of snRNA serves as a nuclear localization signal (NLS). This signal is recognized by adaptor protein snurportin1, which together with the importin β, transport TMG capped snRNA to the nucleus. This nuclear transport may be used to deliver therapeutic oligonucleotides or other biologically important molecules to the nucleus. The aim of the project is the synthesis of TMG cap analogs, which will provide tools for the study of nuclear transport. Therefore, we plan to synthesize TMG cap analogs labeled with molecular rotors
How to apply?
– CV including a description of prior research experience
