Paola Minoprio is head of the Trypanosomatids Infectious Processes lab. She received her MSc in Parasitology from The University of Sao Paulo, Brazil and her Ph.D. in Immunology from The University of Paris 6, […]
Proteins are large macromolecules playing a variety of functions within the cell. The function of the protein is linked to its three-dimensional structure. However, a protein is not a static object and the […]
On the cover: Type IV pili (T4P), long and flexible appendages at the surface of many bacteria, are critical virulence factors. Pili of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), an important human pathogen, are polymers of […]
In the Cell, Proteins and Nucleic Acid assemble into larger structures, called macromolecular complexes. These complexes are specialized biological machineries that accomplish fundamental tasks that are at the basis of life. I employ computer modeling […]
My research interests are mainly focused on the structure-function relationships of macromolecules through multidisciplinary approaches. My studies have been concentrated on crucial enzymes belonging to the nucleotide metabolism, in particular nucleoside monophosphate kinases (NMPKs) […]
From 2001 to 2005 I did my Ph.D at the IGF (Institut of Functional Genomic), in Montpellier, South of France. There I worked on the excellent genetic model, Drosophila melanogaster, for which I characterized […]
