報告內容：
This talk will provide a brief overview of our research interests, which are to: (1) unravel the principles governing biological processes and use them to identify novel drug targets and guide drug design, and (2) develop new methods for studying macromolecular interactions.?This talk will provide an example of how our studies help to unravel the principles governing the role of Zn in proteins and the reactivity of Zn finger cores and how they guide drug design help to identify novel drug targets.
