International partnershipCombined research project of Russian Foundation for Basic Research and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (RFBR-DFG, 2010-2012) “S-Acylation of hemagglutinin of influenza virus with different fatty acids – structural requirements and functional consequences” headed by Dr. Larisa V. Kordyukova (PhD, Biology) in cooperation with PD Dr. rer. nat. Michael Veit, Department of Immunology and Molecular Biology (IMB), Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Free University Berlin, Philippstraße 13, 10115 Berlin, Germany.
Workshop for young scientists “Methods to study influenza virus” was organized in the frame of German-Russian year of Science, Technology and Innovation (2011-2012). The Workshop was conducted in IMB, Vet.-Med. Faculty, Free University Berlin. The German organizer and host was PD Dr. Michael Veit. From the Russian side the organization of the meeting was headed by Dr. Larisa V. Kordyukova. ]
ISTC-BTEP (RF-USA) Grant “Application of tritium bombardment technique to uncover the structure of M1 protein of influenza virus, M1-hemagglutinin interactions and their role in viral entry” (2004-2007) in collaboration with N.N. Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics Russian Academy of Sciences (ICP RAS), Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry Russian Academy of Sciences (IBCH RAS) and SOMB, LCMB, NICHD, NIH (USA). The sub-manager for the A.N. Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University group was Prof. Lyudmila A. Baratova. The Collaborator from NIH was Leonid V. Chernomordik, Ph.D., D.Sci. (Biophysics).
Dr. Larisa V. Kordyukova is an Editorial Advisory Board member of Protein & Peptide Letters journal (Bentham Science Publishers) from 2006 till now.
Scientific PrizesFor work “Chemistry of hot tritium atoms as a basis of method of studying of surface molecular layers and structure of biopolymers” the authors that have developed the method were awarded by State prize of RF in the field of science and technology (2000), awards of GKNT (USSR) and awards of Ministry of Science.
Pedagogic activityThe Dpt. has been providing several special lectures and a practical course for students of forth and fifth course of Chemical Faculty and Faculty of Bioengineering & Bioinformatics of Moscow Lomonosov State University covering chromatography (RF HPLC), gel-filtration (AKTA Purifier UPC 10), amino acid analysis (Hitachi L-8800) and mass spectrometry analysis (including interpretation of MALDI-TOF mass spectra using GPMAW software). The practical tasks are described in renovated methodological issues for students published in 2009 and 2011.
