Research Description:The research interests of the Livesay lab are in the broad areas of bioinformatics and computational biology. Specifically, we use a combination of the two approaches to investigate complex molecular phenomena. These synergistic investigations provide the technical and scientific background for our broad goal of deciphering subtle sequence/structure/function relationships with protein families and superfamilies. We are currently funded by the NIH to quantify the give-and-take between protein stability and flexibility and to explore the consequences of these relationships. We also have a strong interest in the prediction of protein functional sites from sequence and/or structural data. A complete list of our papers can be found here
