Tomáš Hošek
Tomáš Hošek graduated in Biophysics at the Masaryk University in Brno with thesis on plasma assisted deposition of photo-catalytic TiO2 films. He continued his studies at the same university with Master in Molecular Biophysics with thesis concerning the NMR and computational study of the interaction site of RNA-binding protein. During his master studies he participated in research project focused on drugs influencing RNA interference pathways at National Center for Biomolecular Research, where he acquired basic theoretical and practical skills in protein NMR spectroscopy. He has solid background in physics and molecular biology. He has been appointed by CERM group within the IDPbyNMR project.

Development of new NMR methods to study IDPs – Heteronuclear NMR |
Project Description |
Intrinsically disordered proteins have been drawing more and more interest of the scientific community in the last decade. Due to extensive overlap in the NMR spectra of IDPs, the aim of the project is to develop new NMR pulse sequences specially tailored for IDP investigation, mainly focus on the 13C direct detection experiments. Since more or less half of the higher eukaryote proteins contain at least one disordered region, this strategy is also vastly employed in the realm of viruses. Thus, we chose as the biologically relevant systems to study two viral IDPs involved in cancer developments, E7 oncoprotein from human Papillomavirus 16 and E1A protein from Adenovirus 2-5 hybrid. |
