Research Interests
Our focus is the application of NMR to various biomolecular problems. We are interested in protein structure determination - dynamics, protein-protein interactions including the study of metalloproteins and large proteins.
Topics of research include the:
- Study or ferrous transport mechanisms in pathogenic bacteria.
While significant amount of research has been done in the field of sequestering and transport system of iron we are still discovering new proteins that seem to function as transporters. We are interested in the structural and functional characterization of such proteins with an emphasis in pathogenic bacteria. - Development of protocols for NMR based structural proteomics,
Develop protocols for high throughput use of high field NMR in proteomics. Application of fast NMR acquisition and automated structure determination. Optimization of NMR friendly, high throughput protocols for protein production. - In cell protein NMR.
Use in-cell NMR as a quick way to evaluate protein folding inside the cell.
