Professor Garegin Papoian's research on protein folding is featured in Amazon Science

Papoian’s quest to model an elusive class of proteins
 

How do molecules come together and start to behave like a living system? This is the type of question that drives Garegin Papoian’s research. At the University of Maryland, where he is the Monroe Martin Professor, he has been focusing on computational modeling of biological molecules like proteins and DNA. Within his Papoian Lab, a theoretical physical chemistry group also located at the university, his team is also working toward developing fundamental molecular models of the whole cell, a concept still in its infancy.

With the support of an Amazon Research Award, Papoian’s team is deciphering the dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins. Read the full article here.
