Conception et dĂ©veloppement dâune mĂ©thode de comparaison de surfaces appliquĂ©e aux protĂ©ines
Protein interactions play a crucial role in the living processes such as cell communication, immunity, cell growth, proliferation and death. These interactions occur through the surface of proteins and the disruption of their interactions is the start of many disease processes. It is therefore necessary to understand and characterize the surface of proteins and their interactions to better understand living processes. Different methods of protein surfaces comparison have been developed in the recent years but none are powerful enough to handle all the structures currently available in databases. The PhD project is to develop rapid methods of surface comparison and apply them to the surface of macromolecules.Les interactions entre protĂ©ines jouent un rĂŽle crucial dans les processus du vivant comme la communication cellulaire, lâimmunitĂ©, la croissance, prolifĂ©ration et la mort cellulaires. Ces interactions se font via leur surface et la perturbation des interactions entre protĂ©ines est Ă la base de nombreux processus pathologiques. Il est donc nĂ©cessaire de bien comprendre et caractĂ©riser la surface des protĂ©ines et leurs interactions mutuelles de maniĂšre Ă mieux comprendre les processus du vivant. DiffĂ©rentes mĂ©thodes de comparaison de la surface des protĂ©ines ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©veloppĂ©es ces derniĂšres annĂ©es mais aucune nâest assez puissante pour traiter lâensemble des structures disponibles dans les diffĂ©rentes bases de donnĂ©es.
