This NIH grant funds research to upgrade the AQcalc web utility for identifying weak interactions in proteins and to develop rapid experimental assays to study these interactions, aiming to improve understanding of protein biophysics and related health applications.
Description
A grant to develop a comprehensive web utility (AQcalc upgrade) for identifying various weak interactions in protein structures and their complexes, and to develop rapid experimental assay systems to test the roles of these weak interactions. The research aims to enhance understanding of how weak interactions regulate macromolecular structure and function, with implications for health and disease.
