Research Interest

Prof. Chang is working on the structural and functional analysis of biomacromolecules (including Insulin, Earthworm FibrinolyticEnzymes, Metalloproteins, Phycobiliproteins and etc.) for many years. For the past decade, the main research focus of our group is on structural studies of photosynthesis related proteins. Photosynthesis, which is one of the most important chemical reactions in the world, occurs in two stages: light reactions and dark reactions.
