Funded Activity Summary

Studies of the Dynamic Language of Bio-Molecular Communication and Signalling. For normal biological function, a multitude of external signals must be interpreted and responded to by cells. The responses must be carefully regulated and coordinated, or else pathological conditions will develop and, if not corrected, lead to uncontrolled proliferation or cell death. This project studies the mechanisms by which cells transmit signals. Proteins accomplish this communication by modifying the interactions among their functional domains, effectively creating a conformational language. Knowledge of this language will impact biomedicine through its contributions to understanding the molecular pathology of diseased states, and biotechnology by enhancing our ability to use biological processes for applications.
