Molecular Modeling

Faculty:


Cusanovich, Michael: The Cusanovich laboratory focus on studies of protein structure and function, with an emphasis on biological recognition (protein-protein interactions), the role and mechanisms of protein dynamics in biologically relevant processes, and aspects of bacterial metabolism.
Flynn, Gary: Structure-based design methods for the discovery of potential drug candidates
Gokhale, Vijay:
Hurley, Laurence: Discovery and Development of Novel Anticancer Drugs
Lichtenberger, Dennis: Electronic structure and bonding in relation to chemical structure and reactivity in catalysis, materials, and biology. Emphasis on experimental probes of gas-phase and condensed-phase electronic structure by photoelectron spectroscopy and computational methods.
Mash, Eugene: Organic Chemistry
Meuillet, Emmanuelle: Dr. Meuillet's laboratory research interests lie in the general area of modulation of the activity of tyrosine kinases. Over the past eight years, Dr. Meuillet's work has specifically focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms and biological roles of membrane components such as phospholipids and glycosphingolipids, in receptor signaling pathways and how changes in lipid composition can affect downstream transduction signals from the plasma membrane to the nucleus. The recent discovery of lipid rafts and caveolae membrane domains has proven to be important in lipid associated disorders.
Montfort, William: We study the structure, function and dynamics of proteins to understand how they work at a fundamental level, both in vivo and in vitro, and how they fail in disease. Our primary area of research concerns nitric oxide signaling pathways.
