Jaeok Park (web)I study allosteric enzyme regulation, its significance in biological pathways, and its utility in drug discovery. I am particularly interested in the enzymes of isoprenoid synthesis and sugar phosphorylation. My scientific methods mainly involve enzyme kinetics and X-ray crystallography. |

Stefan Wallin (web)The focus of my research is to discover and explore the principles that govern the folding and interaction of proteins. These physical processes are what allow proteins to carry out a wide range of tasks in cells, such as catalyzing biochemical reactions. A major part of my research is to develop models and method for protein simulation by using the tools of statistical mechanics and computational physics. I am also interested in the biophysical basis for protein evolution and how ‘misfolding’ and aggregation of proteins can lead to disease. |
