One of the main focuses of our lab is to develop computational methods to predict 3-dimensional structure of protein molecules from amino acid sequence, and to deduce the biological functions based on the sequence-to-structure-to-function paradigm. The second focus of our lab is to combine computational algorithms and biochemistry experiments to design new protein molecules with enhanced functionality beyond nature proteins. We are also working on modeling ligand-protein and protein-protein interactions, with particular interest in new drug screening targeting G protein-coupled receptors in the human genome ( >> read more ... ). Zhang Lab news: PREDICTIONCENTER.ORG (2020/12/01): I-TASSER (as Zhang-Server) and QUARK from Zhang Lab ranked at the top two positions for automated 3D structure prediction in the 14th CASP experiment; this is the 8th time of I-TASSER ranked as the top server in CASP since 2006. National Science Foundation (2020/09/17): The Zhang Lab was granted new collaborative NSF award (with Andrews, Freddolino and Young) for modeling symbiotic microbial communities. XSEDE.ORG (2020/09/16): Zhang Lab received new computing resources from NSF XSEDE (MCB160101, MCB160124 with 24 million CPU/GPU hours) for protein-folding method developments and online gateways.
