Anna Moroni is a professor of Plant Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Milan, Italy. She works on ion channels, a class of membrane proteins that control cell excitability and >>>
Laura Cantù is a full professor of Applied Physics at the University of Milan. Her research activities are in Bio-softmatterin… >>>
We are planning to use Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to obtain information on the conformation of the membrane channels in the different condition, such as >>>
High-resolution Magic-Angle Spinning (HRMAS) NMR spectroscopy can be a powerful tool in facilitating to solve the chemical shift anisotropy problems and >>>
Our goal is to test in vivo the expression of the newly designed synthetic channels, whose activity should be controlled by diverse external stimuli (e.g. blue light, magnetic field). >>>
We try to understand basic structure/function correlates, which are relevant in all potassium ion channel proteins from small and primitive to large and highly evolved channels >>>
Our goal is the development and enhancement of in silico methods to understand and later on engineer the mechanics of ion channels and their >>>
