Research Overview

The aim of our group is to reverse engineer the function of a protein through studying its evolution. We use bioinformatics to get the first inkling of the layout and mechanism of these biological nanomachines, and computer simulation to test, to the extent it currently allows, the reasonableness of our interpretation of bioinformatics data. Ultimately, the goal is to build a straightforward hypothesis which can then be tested experimentally. Therefore we invest serious effort into developing ways to present our findings in the most useful and compact way to our experimentalist colleagues.
