Sep-2022. We published five papers on computational peptide/protein by our own or with our experimental collaborators. These papers discussed the impact of peptide fusion, phosphorylation and mutation on the effect of protein conformation and related functions. They build a ground for our effort in computational understanding of cancer proteins and the design of therapeutic proteins/peptides.
Sep-2022. Our group has experienced a wonderful summer.
Dr. Qi finished her postdoctoral with our group and has moved to medical school at the University of Kentucky. Wish her a bright future!
Tien won a DOE-SCGSR and is conducting his research about quantum computing and developing advanced solvents for CO2 capture and conversion.
Usman conducted an internship at J&J to conduct molecular modeling of proteins.
Dr. Shao participated in FOMMS and ACS meetings and presented our research.
Our group rewarded two internal pilots from the medical school of the University of Kentucky and one grant from NSF. These grants will enable us to combine machine learning with molecular simulations to investigate complex phenomena in proteins and separations.
Oct-2021 Qi published a paper about the solvation of enzymes in aqueous deep eutectic solvents on PCCP. Congratulations! Link
September-2021 Usman published two papers about deep eutectic solvents on AIChE Journals. Congratulations! (Link1) (Link2)
