Areas of specialty:
- Structural characterization and molecular recognition using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and computer aided molecular design (CAMD)
Our laboratory is involved in molecular recognition and solution phase structural studies of anticancer agents using ‘state-of-the-art’ multidimensional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and computer aided molecular modeling. We are interested in utilizing structure of peptides, proteins, enzymes, receptors, and acceptors as templates in drug designing. Recently we have been studying the structure-activity relationship of novel chicken cathelicidins known as fowlicidins.
We are interested in utilizing structure of peptides, proteins, enzymes, receptors and acceptors as templates in drug designing. We are also interested in developing programs and routines for computer aided structure and conformation elucidation.
