The Israeli BAG

The BAG is quite large with 24 principal investigators covering almost all groups in Israel. The scientific topics are diverse and so different that depicting them in a short Abstract is extremely difficult. In this context BAG members are studying the parameters that govern protein assemblage, structural impacts of signaling processes in different cascades. There are several projects that are directed towards molecular recognition with implementation towards drug design. In addition, we still have the ribosome project and the design of unique antibiotics with specific functional interactions from the mycinamycins family and their resistance related mechanism compared with other macrolides and the photosystem and how it converts light into energy. Since Covid-19 is still a relevant topic as are other viral infections BAG members are and have been involved in the understanding of the infection process and the means to hinder it.
