About speaker:
Alexander Kotlyar.
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The George S. Wise Faculty of Life Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Israel.
Alexander Kotlyar was born in Russia in 1957. He graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1991, and then has researched biochemistry in Tel Aviv University, Israel. Currently Dr. Kotlyar is a Professor of Biochemistry in Tel Aviv University. His fields of expertise are biochemistry, enzymology of soluble and membrane bound proteins, electron transfer in DNA and proteins, time resolved spectroscopy and DNA synthesis.
His major research interests since 2001 focus around the DNA-based nanostructures. During the last 4 years he and members of his group at Tel Aviv University developed a novel method of enzymatic synthesis of long (up to 10 kbase pairs) uniform poly(G)-poly(C) double stranded DNA as well as novel. He also developed novel methods for production of long nanostrucures based on 4G and triple stranded DNA. In his research Dr. Kotlyar uses various experimental techniques, i.e. HPLC, UV/VIS absorption spectroscopy, fluorescent and CD spectroscopy and FRET analysis.
