      Bachelor's Thesis: Optimisation of a positive validation assay based on chemical denaturation experimentsAwarded with 9.9/10 (Distinction with Honor)My main goal was to both validate and estimate the binding of a promising antiviral candidate to the Tsg101-UEV human domain. In order to tackle this challenge, I performed urea denaturation experiments followed by intrinsic fluorescence. This type of ligand-protein interactions represent a potential strategy in the fight against… Show more Bachelor's Thesis: Optimisation of a positive validation assay based on chemical denaturation experimentsAwarded with 9.9/10 (Distinction with Honor)My main goal was to both validate and estimate the binding of a promising antiviral candidate to the Tsg101-UEV human domain. In order to tackle this challenge, I performed urea denaturation experiments followed by intrinsic fluorescence. This type of ligand-protein interactions represent a potential strategy in the fight against several viral threats like HIV, Ebola or Marburg virus. Show less
