Structure prediction of membrane proteins

The research aim is to increase the understanding of specific membrane proteins by providing structure models that can explain available data and guide the design of new experiments. A novel protocol for structure prediction of membrane proteins will be devised such that template structures are not needed, and it will therefore be general for any class of helical membrane proteins.

Other areas of interest involves homology modeling of membrane and soluble proteins, sequence and structure analysis, protein-protein docking and virtual ligand screening. These tools are used in current collaborations with experimentalists.
