Dr. Igor Zhukov
Degree:
Ph.D Biophysics, Biochemistry and Biophysics Instytute at PAOS , Warszawa, Poland, 2001
Research interests:
- Structural analysis of high resolution three-dimensional structures of proteins in solution based on NMR data;
- Studies of backbone dynamics in proteins based on 15N relaxation data in regard of 3D structure and interactions with small ligands and target biomolecules;
- Develop and application multidimensional NMR techniques for speed-up and improve accuracy determination of protein structures.
