ResearchConformational dynamics of the spike protein on mutants of SARS-COV2 coronavirus.Mortaza's research is focused on understanding the conformational dynamics of the spike protein of the SARS-COV2 coronavirus. He is focused on the most recent infectious mutants. Using molecular dynamics and advanced enhanced sampling methods, he investigates how the spike protein's conformational dynamics lead to the activation of spike protein and the infecting function of the virus. |
