Flavoproteins : structural dynamics, catalysis and cell biology

Objective



It is the aim of the FLAPS network to investigate the structures, mechanisms of action and cell biology of flavoproteins. FLAPS will extend and enhance existing contacts between participants. It will investigate a variety of problems at four levels of complexity: flavoprot eins that contain flavin as the only prosthetic group; flavoproteins that contain additional redox centres; flavoproteins that function in multienzyme complexes; and the role of flavin in the regulation of cellular homeostasis.
The proposed contribution from the Vilnius group conforms fully with these aims by bringing to bear its expertise on the interactions of flavoenzymes with quinone and aromatic nitrocompounds. Such interactions can lead to enzyme inhibition, to oxidative stress, and they are important in the anticancer and other cytotoxic activities of nitrocompounds and quinones. The proposed collaboration will allow collaborative work with several other groups in the Network.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
