Biography:
Ibrahim Abduganiyyu A has completed his PhD at the University of Cape Town, and he will be 36 years old by the 10th of July. Ibrahim is from Maigatari a small town in jigawa. He was a two time head of Department in the department of nutrition and community health jigawa state polytechnic Dutse. He has currently has 5 publications and has been appointed an assistant professor with Mariam Abacha University. My research interest are 1. Solution Structure of Neuropeptides: NMR used, together with Computational methods, to determine the solution structure of neuropeptides. The neuropeptides of interest are insect adipokinetic hormones, and it is hoped that from a knowledge of the structure of the peptide a structure-activity relationship can be developed. Alternately this could lead to new, biological active pesticide that is selective in their activity, negatively affecting the aimed pest species without causing damage to valuable insect species, to curb the massive, indiscriminate killing of insects the world over. 2. Molecular modelling, Molecular Docking, NMR of Peptides, GPCRs and all computational related Bioinformatics and cheminformatics.
Title : Conformational analysis of a cyclic AKH neuropeptide analog that elicits selective activity on locust versus honeybee receptor
