Expertise

The Zlotnick lab dissects virus assembly using a broad array of biophysical and biochemical tools. We perturb “normal” assembly with mutants and small molecules.

A major focus of the lab is to understand the biophysics of virus capsid assembly.

Projects:

  • Structural basis of the assembly of virus capsids and other multi-protein complexes using X-ray crystallography and solution biophysical techniques
    • HBV Assembly
    • Molecular Chaperone
    • S'more Muffin Intermediates.

Research Interests:

  • biophysics of virus assembly related to virus biology, development of antiviral strategies, and construction of virus nanostructures

Subject Areas:

  • Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry
  • Biology.
