  • Functional Effects Detailed Research Plan
    GeCIP Detailed Research Plan Form Background The Genomics England Clinical Interpretation Partnership (GeCIP) brings together researchers, clinicians and trainees from both academia and the NHS to analyse, refine and make new discoveries from the data from the 100,000 Genomes Project. The aims of the partnerships are: 1. To optimise: • clinical data and sample collection • clinical reporting • data validation and interpretation. 2. To improve understanding of the implications of genomic findings and improve the accuracy and reliability of information fed back to patients. To add to knowledge of the genetic basis of disease. 3. To provide a sustainable thriving training environment. The initial wave of GeCIP domains was announced in June 2015 following a first round of applications in January 2015. On the 18th June 2015 we invited the inaugurated GeCIP domains to develop more detailed research plans working closely with Genomics England. These will be used to ensure that the plans are complimentary and add real value across the GeCIP portfolio and address the aims and objectives of the 100,000 Genomes Project. They will be shared with the MRC, Wellcome Trust, NIHR and Cancer Research UK as existing members of the GeCIP Board to give advance warning and manage funding requests to maximise the funds available to each domain. However, formal applications will then be required to be submitted to individual funders. They will allow Genomics England to plan shared core analyses and the required research and computing infrastructure to support the proposed research. They will also form the basis of assessment by the Project’s Access Review Committee, to permit access to data.

It is timely because it reflects the history of biochemical research collaboration between Chinese and UK scientists, not only by looking back over the last century, but also by reviewing some of the strengths of biochemical research in China in 2011. Downloaded from http://portlandpress.com/biochemist/article-pdf/33/5/4/3914/bio033050004.pdf by guest on 27 September 2021 It has been a busy year for the Biochemical Society, which both in the UK and China.

Michael Mosley -BBC 2010 “Knowledge leaps forward when brilliant experiments are analysed by independent minds.” He was referring to the discovery that Mars moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun – established by Johannes Kepler -1599 using the observations of Tycho Brahe. Mathematics in the Service of Crystallography? Structure Solution exploits: Fundamental Mathematical concepts (Some elegant, but restricted to 3D for structure, and 2D for diffraction) Technical Mathematics and Computation (messy and very easy to get wrong!) Statistics (Much needed but messy too) Why crystallography? Quote: DCH: I also first learnt at the same time about biochemistry which provided me with the molecules it seemed most desirable to 'see'. …[The] great advantage of X-ray analysis as a method of chemical structure analysis is its power to show some totally unexpected and surprising structure and to do so with absolute certainty….

    Drug design: HIV Molecules made to measure HIV protease inhibitors have been one of the big successes of rational drug design. Clare Sansom looks at the impact of structural biology on drug discovery PROTEIN DATA BANK DATA PROTEIN 50 | Chemistry World | November 2009 www.chemistryworld.org There are fashions in drug discovery, on this new virus. enzymes are over 300 residues In short as in many fields of technical Oroszlan had proved that a similar long and contain two copies of a development, and these even follow virus, the murine leukaemia virus, HIV protease characteristic tripeptide sequence common enough patterns to be matured by proteolytic cleavage – inhibitors – now a key necessary for enzyme activity: mapped. Gartner’s ‘hype cycle’ that is, as new virus capsules bud component of multi- aspartic acid, threonine (or serine), describes the path of a technology from an infected host cell, proteases drug HIV treatments and glycine – a trio generally referred from initial adoption, over the slice up its payload of polyproteins – are a prime example to as DTG. In contrast, the retroviral peak of inflated expectation and into individual, functional proteins of structure-based drug protease is a much smaller enzyme through the consequent trough of and enzymes. Oroszlan had also design – only 99 residues in HIV – and disillusion, until reaching its ‘plateau found that the protease cleavage HIV’s protease contains only one DTG sequence. It of productivity’, by which time it sites were resistant to all known enzymes were validated was clear from the beginning that has evolved to fit its particular niche mammalian proteases, suggesting as a potential drug target this protein could not be active as a in the market and become stable.
