Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies phytochromes, the light-sensing proteins that let bacteria and plants detect and respond to light, using high-resolution crystal structures to capture how these proteins change shape as they absorb light. A particular focus is light-regulated cell development in myxobacteria (soil bacteria). Some work also extends to structural studies of drug interactions with the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus's main protease enzyme.
