Welcome to the Department of Molecular Biology

 

We study the molecular structures and processes in cells and how they influence the development of living organisms. To do our science we need specialisation in biochemistry, cell biology, structure biology, bioinformatics, proteomics, toxicology, virology and/or developmental biology.

    New protein tricks from an old enzyme

    Small chemical groups are commonly attached to proteins in order to control their function. In eukaryotic cells, N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs) attach acetyl groups to the very first amino acid (the N-terminus) of a majority of proteins. Now, researchers at MBI (UiB) and VIB-Gent have discovered that NATs also carry out other types of protein modifications.
