Dr. Alastair Murchie, Fudan University, China, will give a talk on Cofactor Binding Triggers Rapid Conformational Remodelling of the Active Site of a Methyltransferase Ribozyme.
Professor Alastair Murchie, Professor and PhD Supervisor of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Fudan University, graduated from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Dundee, UK, in 1994, and worked as a postdoctoral fellow and senior researcher at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Dundee, UK, in 1994-1998, and as Chief R&D Officer of Ribotargets, a new drug development company in Cambridge, UK, in 1998-2003. Professor Murchie's main research interests are (1) Advanced structure and biological function of nucleic acids, including the discovery of novel riboswitches and ribozymes, their structure and function, and their impact on gene expression and regulation, effects on gene expression and regulation, RNA modification and its biological functions, RNA epigenetics in disease and stem cells. (2) Interaction between non-coding RNAs and small molecules regulates the expression of antibiotic resistance genes. He was awarded the 2015 Shanghai Magnolia Memorial Prize.
