Check out my blog. If you are here looking for the detailed description of our surfae patch library, you probably wanted to go here.

Research Interest

My research interest is the 3D structure of proteins, especially the surface of proteins. My work characterizes protein surfaces using the notion of surface patches, which are small fractions of the surface of proteins. I define a heuristic distance measure between surface patches which is used to cluster the patches from a large set of non redundant proteins. The resulting set of cluster centers (centroids) provides representative surface patch structures and constitutes a surface patch library. Detailed information can be downloaded here, or a "short" slideshow here.
