THE PROJECT:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The project \u201cFostering high scientific quality in protein science in Eastern Slovakia (CasProt)\u201c<\/span> supports the second-best classical university in Slovakia, University of Pavol Jozef Safarik in Kosice (UPJS), located in one of the lowest GDP-producing regions in the widening country Slovakia. The vital connections to the high R&I performing countries – Germany and Switzerland and the scientific excellence of our partners, Technical University in Munich (TUM) and University of Zurich (UZH), will trigger the critical steps toward becoming the UPJS as a leader in the field of protein science in Slovakia. This project will also energize a high-tech development and unfold the innovation potential of our University with the expected impact on the Eastern Slovakia region and consequently whole Slovakia. By means of short-term staff exchange, expert visits training, joint summer schools, workshops, and conference attendance, we will reach the following main objectives<\/strong><\/span> of the project: \u00a0<\/p>\n INTRODUCTION:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n PROJECT GOAL:<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n The specific scientific goals<\/span> of the project are: (i)<\/span> to establish highly advanced protein evolution techniques of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), and (ii)<\/span> to develop complex single-molecule force assays and instrumentations (e.g., optical tweezers with confocal fluorescence microscopy detection) for monitoring of the dynamics of wild-type and evolved GPCRs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" THE PROJECT: The project \u201cFostering high scientific quality in protein science in Eastern Slovakia (CasProt)\u201c supports the second-best classical university in Slovakia, University of Pavol Jozef Safarik in Kosice (UPJS), located in one of the lowest GDP-producing regions in the widening country Slovakia.
