Main research interests
Structural and functional organization of protein molecules:
- protealysins, their precursors and accompanying proteins;
- neurotrophin’s precursors and their functions;
- carbohydrate-binding modules, their organization and combining strategy.
Novel vector systems:
- comparative quantitative estimation of the efficiency of different vector systems;
- viral proteases, their interaction with mammalian cells and engineering of artificial toxins.
Markers and models for the analysis of pathological conditions:
- proprotein convertases in human tumors;
- Danio rerio as a model for analysis of biologically active antitumor compounds.
