Gaston Courtade
Background and activities
I am a part of the Biopolymer NMR group and study protein structures and function by using primarily NMR spectroscopy and MD-simulations.
Currently, I am a PostDoc with a grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The project consists in studying multi-domain enzymes (LPMOs - lytic polysaccharide monooxygeneases) with NMR, simulations, and other biophysical and biochemical techniques to try to understand the interplay between the folded domains and the role of linker regions.
