Research Interests


Current Projects:

1) Interaction of Chromo Domains with Histone Tails

2) Interaction of Nuclear Hormone Receptors with Ligands, Coactivators and Corepressors

3) Structure of Retroviral Capsid Proteins


Our laboratory studies the three-dimensional structure and dynamics of proteins and protein complexes involved in human diseases. Our main tools are solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray Crystallography.


We use the knowledge of structure and dynamics at atomic resolution, combined with other biophysical studies to elucidate function of biological molecules. Suitable samples for such studies are prepared in our laboratory by implementing tools of molecular biology and biochemistry.
