Research Interest
Developing biophysical methods to analyze protein-protein interactions and protein dynamic properties in-situ or in native cellular (both prokaryotic and eukaryotic) environments. The methods include nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron spin resonance (ESR), fluorescence and other related spectroscopic methods. Structure and function studies of ion channels. Using the combinational structural biology methods to illustrate three dimensional structures of ion channels, modulatory subunits and/or native toxins. Using the patch-clamp methods to illustrate physiological behavior of ion channels and their functional variations under different modulatory molecules.
