Discrete, Sampling-based Models of Conformational Switching in Protein Molecules

Post Image: Discrete, Sampling-based Models of Conformational Switching  in Protein Molecules

One of the research thrusts in the Shehu lab is understanding the modulation of biological activity in protein molecules via a process known as conformational switching. One of the ways we do so is by designing powerful, sample-based algorithms to extract a discrete representation of the conformational space of a protein and additionally model switching between conformations of interest.
