科研领域描述
利用核磁共振(NMR)技术,结合其它生物化学及分子生物学手段,研究生物大分子结构及其相互作用,以期理解其结构-功能关系,揭示其作用的分子机理。目前主要的研究对象包括细胞凋亡因子Bcl-xL、抑癌基因HREV-107家族蛋白、结核杆菌nucleoid protein Lsr2、SARS病毒主蛋白酶
We are interested in studying 3D structures of proteins and their interactions with other proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecule ligands, using NMR spectroscopy along with other techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology, aiming to reveal protein structure-function relationship and molecular mechanisms for protein functions, including the roles of anti-tumor gene HREV-107 family proteins in cell death, the structural basis of bacterial nucleoid-associated proteins in transcription regulation, the function of pro-apoptotic protein Bcl-XL in autophagy, the mechanism of glutaredoxins in iron and oxygen sensing, and protein folding using SARS-CoV main protease as a model.
