研究方向

课题组主要研究蛋白质等生物大分子的结构以及微观动态性质,利用核磁共振等实验和计算方法开展药物开发设计相关的各类课题项目。近期研究方向主要包括以下几个方面。

1. 对生物大分子别构调节效应机制的研究。该项研究主要基于目前已知存在别构调节效应的几类蛋白质生物大分子,通过其各个部位的微观动态性质了解别构调节位点与活性作用位点之间的耦合机制,从而对别构调节位点的识别提供直接的实验依据。

2. 与内源无序蛋白相关的药物开发研究。内源无序蛋白在生理条件下缺乏特定的二级结构,难以通过晶体学等实验方法对其进行结构方面的研究。核磁共振实验所测得的微观动态性质是能够从内源无序蛋白所了解到的少数几类性质之一,对于针对内源无序蛋白的药物开发设计具有重要的指导意义。

3. 核磁共振脉冲序列的开发。目前已经存在多种核磁脉冲序列用于各类分子性质的测量,然而很多实验仍然存在灵敏度较低以及虚假信号干扰等问题,因此仍有待于对相关的核磁脉冲序列进行进一步的优化,以及开发新型的核磁脉冲序列等。
