Each of your hundred billion neurons is a formidable computational unit. For, each neuron distributes its ionic and synaptic conductances in a manner that facilitates an incredible variety of input/output functions. Although we have long had detailed models of individual cells, their level of detail

My work focuses on understanding macromolecular machines through structural and functional studies. I am particularly interested in how ATPases convert chemical energy to mechanic forces. One of my main research areas is to understand the transcription activation/initiation process mediated by the

An abundance of protein structures emerging from structural genomics are not amenable to ready functional assignment because of a lack of sequence and structural homology to proteins of known function. We have developed a high-throughput NMR methodology (FAST-NMR) to annotate the biological function

That biology and computation, at a very fundamental level, have been on an interception course has not been news since von Neumann first played with universal constructors in the 1940s. However it took another half century for us to see it happening in the study of the cell biology that inspired it.

The winners of the Keck Annual Meeting Poster Contest will each present a short seminar on their winning poster entry.

RNA and DNA oligonucleotides can act as "aptamers," (i.e., as direct in vivo binders selected from large combinatorial libraries) for a number of proteins and other targets. We have developed both in vitro enzymatic combinatorial selection and split-synthesis chemical combinatorial methods

Kinase targeting is central to drug-based cancer therapy. However, modulating side effects remains challenging mainly because kinases are evolutionarily and hence structurally related. Thus, the cardiotoxicity of powerful anticancer drug imatinib has been attributed to its impact on a primary target

Bacterial multidrug resistance (mdr) is an emerging threat to human health. Mdr can arise through one or more mechanisms. One, which is common to all domains of life, is the efflux of chemically and structurally dissimilar drugs by multidrug efflux transporters. How these multidrug efflux pumps reco

Ever since the theory of evolution was introduced, inferred evolutionary relationships have for the most part taken the shape of a tree. At the species level, evolutionary trees (also known as phylogenies)have been reconstructed to model speciation and divergence of organisms. At the population leve
