Scientific and Research Activities

• My main research is the study of interactions of proteins with their binding partners,and the study of their phosphorylation. Microtubule associated proteins: We recently performed atomic-resolution conformational analysis of MAP2c (consisting of 466 amino acids) and compared the results with homologous protein tau. The analysis revealed presence of multiple functionally important pre-structured motifs, highly correlated with regions of known or proposed functions. This result documents clear evidence of structure-function relationship in intrinsically disordered proteins. We further characterized PKA phosphorylation pattern and kinetics of MAP2c and described its interactions with several protein partners.
• Proteins involved in plant hormone signalling: We explained effects of Mg(2+) binding and pseudo-phosphorylation on structural ensembles and dynamics of receiver domain of CKI1 sensory histidine kinase.
• Insect chemosensory Proteins: we determined the structure of the Chemosensory Protein of Bombyx mori

Internship
