Biomolecular Simulations and Data Analysis Lab

DESCRIPTION OF LAB RESEARCH WORK
  • MD simulation method and data analysis method development.
  • Peptide, protein folding, unfolding study, specially aimed at folding, misfolding mechanism which could lead to amyloid fibril.
  • DNA dynamics, DNA –protein, DNA-counterions interaction study.
  • RNA dynamics and folding study.
  • Close collaborations with several experimental groups to explore the underlying mechanism on the molecular, atomic level.
  • Machine learning based drug discovery.
