Our research fields
The complex biological functions of proteins are determined by their equally intricate three-dimensional structures. The correctly folded native structure is critical for the proper function of a protein in a cell. Small deviations from its native structure can often lead to malfunction of the protein and cause diseases. We are interested in understanding the protein functions through computational studies of their structures. Our research interests are in the following areas:
- Protein structure prediction and design
- Ab initio phasing with de novo models
- Virtual screening and drug design
