A proteomics and structural genomics approach to therapeutic targeting of glycosaminoglycan-binding proteins

Objective

Glycosaminoglycans (Gags) are polysaccharides which are involved in many (pathos)- physiological processes such as wound healing, cell differentiation, inflammation, cancer, and angiogenesis. By concentrating bioinformatical, biochemical, synthetic chemistry and structural biology efforts on establishing two comprehensive databases, one containing all proteins which bind to GAG legends, the other containing all theologians themselves, maximum information concerning the sequence and structural re-lationships among these molecules will be obtained. Based on a classification of the GAG-binding proteins, the 3-D structures of selected protein/GAG legend complexes will be experimentally determined and the remaining complex structures will be pre-ducted. The structural relationships obtained will aid in the design and synthesis of GAG analogues and thus in the development of pharmaceutical lead compounds directed against selected GAG-binding protein targets involved in GAG-mediated diseases.

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.
