Our research program
The MDB is part of a bigger research program, which focuses on
metalloprotein research and design:
The Metalloprotein Bioinformatics, Structure, and Design Program
The Objectives
- • Figure out what makes a metalloprotein tick
- • Rational design and construction of new metalloproteins
What do we need to do
- • Understand the geometrical requirements to bind a metal
- • Figure out the effect of the environmental constrains
- • Devise methods to design the sites
- • Analyze the possible candidates
- • Make the sites
- • Find out where we suceeded and where we failed
- • Go back to step 1
These are the reasons why we built the Metalloprotein-site Database and
