DESCRIPTION:Mark J. van Raaij is Group Leader in the Department of Macromo
 lecular Structures at CNB. His group research focuses on structural biolog
 y of the tail fibres of viruses and bacteriophages. Knowledge of the struc
 tures of viral and bacteriophage fibre proteins could lead to a variety of
  biotechnological applications. Modification of the bacteriophage fibre re
 ceptor binding specificities could permit improved detection and eliminati
 on of specific bacteria. The skills and expertise of the group cover const
 ruction of bacterial expression vectors\, protein expression\, purificatio
 n\, characterization and crystallisation and crystallographic structure de
 termination by de novo or molecular replacement phasing.
