Functional Ecogenomics, studies the structure and function of genomes with the aim of understanding the relationship between organisms and their environment , in our case between forest trees and microorganisms. Our projects range of functional analysis at the cellular level to community studies using metagenomics.
The Protein engineering, is to understand the relationship between the three-dimensional structure of proteins and their functions in order to determine their role in the living cell. Recombinant proteins can be produced and purified to investigate their physico- chemical properties, enzymatic action mechanism as well as interactions with different ligands . The location in cellulo proteins can also be studied in this tray.
