Progress in High-Resolution Modeling of Protein Structure and Interactions
Our research is focused on the prediction and design of protein structures, protein folding mechanisms, and protein protein interactions. Our approach is to use experiments to understand the fundamental principles underlying these problems, to develop simple computational models based on these insights, and to test the models through structure prediction and design. A particularly exciting recent success with this approach was the development of the ROSETTA method for ab initio protein structure prediction, which produced de novo structure predictions of unprecedented accuracy in the recent CASP4 international blind test of protein structure prediction methods. We are currently working to appply these methods to the interpretation of genome sequence information.
