More information

Description

The bilateral initiative should strengthen and expand the already established collaboration between Czech and Norwegian research groups based in Prague (Charles University) and Trondheim (University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, NTNU) respectively, conducting complementary research in (bio)physical chemistry. The bilateral initiative should facilitate the development of a molecular model that can be used to understand the conditions leading to association of the peptides causing amyloid formation, which is believed to be a cause of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
