Project Description

I joined the ProCeD lab as a biochemical engineer for a project on the study of the MreB protein produced by some bacteria (such as Bacillus subtilis). MreB is a homologue of eukaryotic actin, which plays a role in cell wall elongation. The aim of the project is to learn more about the polymerisation of the MreB protein within the bacteria.

 

My missions thus consist of purifying various mutants of this protein by steric exclusion chromatography and then characterising the activity of the purified proteins (in vitro test of the polymerisation activity of MreB, ATPase activity).
