Computational and experimental structural biology
My group is involved in theoretical and experimental research on macromolecular structures. Theoretical research involves the development of bioinformatics software, structure prediction and modeling of RNA and RNA-protein complexes. In experimental studies we combine crystallography, cryo-EM, and other low-resolution methods. We also engineer proteins to obtain enzymes with new features, e.g. altered substrate specificities.
