Workshop "Assays"
24.04.2019
"The GRK1910 workshop „Non-radioactive binding assays, held on June 11th at the University of Regensburg, was dedicated to methods used to investigate binding of bioactive small molecules to proteins such as receptors and enzymes, without using radiolabeled molecular tools. In the morning, guest docent Prof.
Kevin Burgess from Texas A&M University (Texas) gave a broad overview over the available approaches, and in the afternoon the participants put hands on in the lab, performed a BRET-based binding assay themselves, discussed the theoretical background and analyzed the data. The practical part was supervised by Lukas Grätz and Dr. Max Keller."
Summer School in Medicinal Chemistry 2018
18.06.2018
The biannual Summer School in Medicinal Chemistry will be held from September 19th - September 21st, 2018 at the University of Regensburg.
