Scientific interests
Top-level specialist in protein and peptide chemistry. Dr. V. Lipkin goes in for investigations of the proteins, involved in transmembrane signal transduction, cells differentiation and apoptosis.
Scientific results
V.M. Lipkin was a member of a team under the leadership of Academician Yu.A. Ovchinnikov, which in 1972 for the first time in our country determined the amino acid sequence of the protein — aspartat aminotransferase. In 1975—1985 V.M. Lipkin was engaged in the investigation of E. coli DNA-dependent RNA-polymerase. In cooperation with the colleagues he has determined amino acid sequences of all subunits of the enzyme, elaborated methods of chemical and photochemical affine modification of its active centers, elucidated the molecular mechanism of RNA-polymerase inhibition by riphampycin antibiotic. The investigations contributed significantly to clarification of transcription mechanisms.
