Research summary
AI-generated

Chiwook Park's research focuses on how proteins fold, unfold, and remain stable, and on the chemistry of enzyme reactions. Work includes studying molecular 'chaperones' (helper molecules that assist protein folding), analyzing the speed and mechanism of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes, and developing computational tools to predict protein structures. This research is relevant to students interested in protein biochemistry, biophysics, and quantitative methods for studying molecular processes.
