Michael studies protein folding/unfolding dynamics using data generated by molecular dynamics simulations. He analyzes this data with clustering techniques that help label transitional states and can explain the physical mechanisms and residue interactions involved during folding and unfolding. He is focusing on the protein chemotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2) that our group has studied before. Our collaborators in this project include Professor Attila Gursoy (Koc University, Turkey).
