Charge-transfer vs stability patterns of globular proteins: focus on the bilateral
role of conformational flexibility (Weiterführung)
Bewilligung: 29.06.2011 Laufzeit: 2 Jahre
The new phase of the project will focus on a considerable extension of the earlier work. In
general terms, the project is aimed at fundamental studies of intrinsic links between the
stability of biomolecules (in most cases, metal-containing globular proteins), implying
their global and local (active center) motifs, and functional activity (kinetics of electron
transport, enzymatic activity, etc.), with special emphasis on the dualistic role of their
conformational flexibility within the context of the above-mentioned aspects. The topic is
essentially interdisciplinary and requires input of the participating research teams in the
subfields of bioinorganic chemistry, interfacial bionanoscience (including
bioelectrochemistry), and biological and chemical physics.

Application of security to biometrics and communications
Bewilligung: 25.03.2011 Laufzeit: 2 Jahre
The project intends to support and develop the research at the American University in
Armenia in the field of coding, information theory and security. It is especially focused on
talented Ph.D. students to give them the opportunity to get in contact with leading
scientists in the field. The research concentrates on biometric verification, processing of
biometric data, constructing fault tolerant passwords from noisy observations, secrecy of
storing and processing private data, implementation with real data, coding and biometric
authentication.
