We are interested firstly in the structure-function relationship, using a wide range of modern methods of research of protein structure, their properties and interactions, and secondly, how we could transfer the gained knowledge into a practical level, besides other things, by designing artificial protein constructs which would help the immune cells to recognize better and eliminate the target cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methods used in research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"grid-template-columns:57% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1842\" height=\"850\" src=\"https:\/\/web.natur.cuni.cz\/biochem\/structimmuno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Figure_11_CD3zeta-A2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6298 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.natur.cuni.cz\/biochem\/structimmuno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Figure_11_CD3zeta-A2.png 1842w, https:\/\/web.natur.cuni.cz\/biochem\/structimmuno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Figure_11_CD3zeta-A2-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/web.natur.cuni.cz\/biochem\/structimmuno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Figure_11_CD3zeta-A2-1024x473.png 1024w, https:\/\/web.natur.cuni.cz\/biochem\/structimmuno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Figure_11_CD3zeta-A2-768x354.png 768w, https:\/\/web.natur.cuni.cz\/biochem\/structimmuno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Figure_11_CD3zeta-A2-1536x709.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1842px) 100vw, 1842px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"structural-research-of-complexes-of-nk-cell-receptors-and-their-ligands\"><strong>Structural research of complexes of NK cell receptors and their ligands<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Recombinant protein expression within the HEK293 human cell line<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biophysical characterization of proteins and their interactions (AUC, ITC, MST, DLS, DSF, SPR)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protein crystallography, structural mass spectrometry, SAXS, cryoEM<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"research-of-nk-cell-receptors-arrangement-on-the-surface-of-a-living-cell\"><strong>Research of NK cell receptors&#8217;
