Description
The NF-KB protein regulates genes important for apoptosis, immune response, and cell growth and differentiation. The binding capacities and the structure of three NF-KB mimics will be studied using circular dichroism and isothermal titration calorimetry or fluorescence spectroscopy aiming to eventually prevent overexpression of proteins by the NF-KB transcription factor.
