Scientific interests
Generally, scientific interests of Vladimir Martynov are associated with investigations of the structure and functions of photosensitive proteins, as well as their potential applications in molecular, cellular biology and in theranostics of various diseases.
Scientific results
1975-2003 he was the first who has shown by limited proteolysis that visual rhodopsin, a representative of a huge family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), consists of seven domains traversing the photoreceptor membrane (Martynov et al., 1983). Nowadays, this family is also known as seven transmembrane domain receptors (7TMD receptors). In 1983 he earned the Ph.D. degree with the thesis entitled “Molecular organization of visual rhodopsin in a photoreceptor membrane”.
2000-present The ultimate goal of his work was to gain knowledge about structural tools in spectral tuning of GFP-like proteins. Posttranslational modifications and chromophore structures of fluorescent proteins of the GFP family were explored (Pakhomov A.A. and Martynov V.I. Chemistry&Biology 2008). In 2013 he gained Dr.Sci. degree with the thesis entitled “Posttranslational modifications of proteins of the GFP family”.
