Biography
Molecular dynamic simulation is particularly suited to study the affect of point mutations on collagen trimer stability of model native peptides. I am examining the changes in hydrogen bonding, dihedral angles and chain distance induced by the insertion of the mutation into the native sequence. In doing so, I hope to understand why the same mutation has such a diverse outcome depending on its location along the collagen trimer.
Research Interest
Current research interests include the molecular dynamic simulation in explicit water to determine protein structure.
