BIOPHYSICS

The team: We are a young, international group surrounded by neurobiologists and structural biologists... The role of the intracellular domains of ionotropic glutamate receptors in synaptic plasticity. Ionotropic glutamate receptors are crucial our ability to learn. On their intracellular side, they contain an intrinsically disordered tail, that is crucial for synaptic plasticity, but defies the normal structure-function paradigm. We are studying how these domains control the properties and interactions of the receptor.
