RESEARCH INTERESTS

My current main projects

1) Investigation of conformational changes in EcTrxR to understand the electron transfer reaction mechanism and to further design new antibiotics using receptor based drug design.

2) Developing a rational approach for experimental data-driven docking through combining conventional docking (ZDOCK and HADDOCK) with COM pulling and distance restraint MD simulations to improve the protein-protein docking result.
