Research
Zaida Luthey-Schulten’s research lab investigates the rules of life for a minimal bacteria cell; GPU-based simulations of stochastic/deterministic processes in bacterial and eukaryal cells at biologically relevant length, time, and concentration scales; computational studies of biomolecular energy landscapes to explore the evolution of structure, folding and function; statistical methods of protein folding–thermodynamics and kinetics; design of optimized energy functions for protein structure prediction; and, structural genomics of metabolic pathways.
