Publications by authors named "Karunakar R Pothula"

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Karunakar R Pothula"

  • - Karunakar R Pothula's research primarily focuses on the structural biology of viral proteins, particularly HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins and Langya virus fusion proteins, exploring their conformational states to understand interactions with broadly neutralizing antibodies and immune responses! - Recent studies highlight the significance of conformational flexibility in HIV-1 Envs, which can impact the design of immunogens for HIV vaccines, as well as advancements in modeling ligands bound to proteins using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) techniques to enhance reproducibility and accuracy in structural determinations! - Pothula's contributions also include significant findings related to amyloid fibrils associated with diseases like type 2 diabetes and the mechanism of antimicrobial peptides, revealing important insights into the structural dynamics of proteins in health and disease!
