Molecular biology of prokaryotes. Metabolic engineering: Current work is directed toward compounds derived from central metablism intermediates such as succinate, esters, solvents and other small molecules. Mathematical approaches, bioreactor studies and genetic strategies are used to guide experiments. Gene regulation: As part of efforts to understand the regulation of metabolic and environmental response functions, natural and constructed expression systems are studied.

Human genetics; epidemiology; heart disease; lipid metabolism; apolipoprotein genes; DNA variation. The objective of research in this laboratory is to understand the role of individual genes in complex physiological systems characterized by gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. The model system used is lipid metabolism and its contribution to atherosclerosis. This laboratory also has experience in typing and characterizing DNA variation in highly repetitive and polymorphic VNTR loci.

Structural and Computational Biology of Biological Machines; Biological applications include viruses, ion channels, membranes, oligomeric proteins and cyotskeletal protein complexes. Dr. Chiu has been a leading investigator in the development of electron cryomicroscopy to solve structures of macromolecular assemblies at increasingly high resolutions. Computationally, his group has developed single particle reconstruction software, which has been widely adopted by other investigators. He directs an NIH supported center (http://ncmi.bcm.edu). Among many structures his group has done, Chiu is pursuing the structural studies of viruses including herpes simplex virus, bacteriophages andVenezuelan equine encephalitis virus. His approach includes single particle and tomographic electron cryomicroscopy.

Kavraki's group develops computational tools on high-performance systems to model protein structure and function, understand biomolecular interactions and help analyze, in the long run, the molecular machinery of the cell. This is done by integrating sequence information with three-dimensional structural information to capture, represent and exploit relevant molecular motion. Of particular interest are the identification of three-dimensional functional motifs in protein databases, docking of flexible molecules to flexible receptors, computer-assisted drug discovery, and the understanding and compact representation of structural changes in large biomolecular machines.

Simulation of supermolecular complexes; computer-aided drug-design. Our group is using combined experimental and computational methods to study the fusion mechanisms of influenza virus, especially the hemagglutinin-mediated cell membrane fusion. Of particular interest is to derive structural information for intermediates along the pH-triggered conformational transition, which is an extremely difficult problem. We will employ a suite of biophysical techniques including various imagining methods and computer simulation techniques.

Our research program aims to identify the mechanisms by which normal cells (lymphocytes) and tumor cells (ovarian and breast cancer) perceive and respond to their environment. The mission of the laboratory is to understand the mechanisms by which signal transduction is linked to proliferation, invasion, and programmed cell death in T lymphocytes and in breast and ovarian cancer.We recently identified a unique phospholipid growth factor, OCAF, in the ascites of ovarian cancer patients. We will explore the role of OCAF in early diagnosis, establishment of prognosis, monitoring of therapy, and therapy of breast and ovarian cancer patients.

We are addressing this issue in breast cancer cells using the EGFR/ErbB2 signaling network as our in silico and in vitro model system. Single nucelotide polymorphisms in MC1R receptor is a high risk factor for the development of melanoma. We are studying the possible mechanism underlying this observation.
