Protein Studies Research Program

The Protein Studies Research Program, under the direction of Jordan Tang, Ph.D., is interested in the structure and function of several biomedically important aspartic proteases. Historically, this program contributed to the basic structure-function model of aspartic proteases and their inhibition.
