Research Focus
Emad Tajkhorshid’s lab group has established an extensive research program in developing and applying molecular modeling and simulation technologies to the investigation of structure- and dynamics-function relationships in membrane proteins and characterization of other membrane-associated phenomena. The Tajkhorshid lab actively studies a wide range of membrane proteins leveraging an array of advanced computational techniques to provide detailed molecular insight into various mechanistic aspects of their function, in particular details of structural changes involved in their mechanism.
