Their approach is based on experimental computation and molecular dynamics and combines modelling, molecular simulation, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.inrs.ca\/en\/research\/professors\/nicolas-doucet\/\">Professor Doucet&nbsp;<\/a>and his team are interested in this family of enzymes and its essential role in the formation of new blood vessels, the degradation of ribonucleic acid (RNA), and in defending against RNA viruses. A better understanding of their molecular function and dynamics could lead to new medications for inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells or fighting a number of pathogens. The new methodologies they develop could also be used to study other enzyme systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Doucet\u2019s NMR characterization of the ribonuclease superfamily project is part of the NIH-funded \u201cConformational sub-states in enzyme catalysis: Applications to the ribonuclease family\u201dresearch initiative being conducted in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh\u2019s Professor Chakra Chennubhotla and Professor Pratul K.
