Chemistry Theses and Dissertations
Allostery is referred to as protein function changes due to external perturbations, and ubiquitous in the living cells. Investigation of the allosteric mechanism is essential for developing drugs or assisting protein engineering. Recently, the population shift model has been proposed to explain the allosteric mechanism. This model emphasizes the importance of conformational distribution in the allostery. In the past several years, I have been continuously working on developing computational methods to explore and quantify protein allostery mechanism. By fully utilizing protein simulation results, several machine learning related methods have been applied to protein systems to investigate the underlying conformational changes …
