For the first time, researchers from Aarhus University and their international colleagues have found a complex of proteins that contains the four central components for optimised energy production. This discovery is of great importance for understanding how life has optimised basic processes in different ways, and at the same time, it lays the foundation for analyses towards the development of drugs against parasitic organisms.
Postdoc Rasmus Kock Flygaard has been awarded a Hallas-Møller Emerging Investigator grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation of DKK 10 million (Euro 1,34 million) over the next five years to establish a research group at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Aarhus University to study a molecule that is important for the survival of the body's cells.
