CERIC Call for Proposals 2021 is now open!

The Central European Research Infrastructure Consortium, CERIC-ERIC is calling for proposals for coordinated access to more than 50 instruments and support laboratories for research in all fields of materials, biomaterials and nanotechnology. In addition to the possibility to access several instruments through a single application, we offer support for mobility.

DEADLINES:
March 1st 2021 at 17:00 CET, to have a pre-evaluation and the possibility to improve your proposal;
March 31st 2021 at 17:00 CET (final submission), recommended only for users that are experts in all the techniques requested.

Structure, self-assembly, and properties of a truncated reflectin variant

We are pleased to present the results of our fruitful collaboration with a research group of prof. Alon A. Gorodetsky from University of California Irvine published in the prestigous general science journal PNAS. Our researchers Matic Kovačič, Gregor Ilc and Janez Plavec contributed NMR structural data on a truncated variant of cehpalopod protein reflectin A1.
Our findings advance current understanding of reflectin-based materials, provide insight into the color-changing capabilities of cephalopods, and afford new opportunities in biochemistry, cellular biology, bio- engineering, and optics.
