Raphaël Leplae Postdoc Email: raphael(at)bigre.ulb.ac.be Homepage Room number: 105 Tel: +32 2 650 5499 |
Research. Leader of the ACLAME project. ACLAME is a database dedicated to the collection and classification of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) from various sources, comprising all known phage genomes, plasmids and transposons. In addition to provide information on the full genomes and genetic entities, it aims at building a comprehensive classification of the functional modules of MGE's at the protein, gene, and higher levels. |

Marc F. Lensink Postdoc Email: lensink(at)bigre.ulb.ac.be Room number: 108 Tel: +32 2 650 5411 |
Research: the cationic lipid di-C14-amidine resembles the physiological lipid DMPC both in structure and in properties, but contains a small and positively charged head group that is not found in nature. Amidine fuses rapidly with the plasma membrane and is a good candidate for intracellular delivery of drugs. We investigate the molecular and physical properties of amidine membrane and its interaction with membrane-associated proteins by means of molecular dynamics simulations and other bioinformatics approaches. |
