摘要:

Protein electrostatics is central to biomolecular function. In this talk, I will present recent advances in modeling electrostatics in proteins, with a focus on machine learning approaches for pKa value prediction. I will then discuss applications to ion channels, highlighting how electrostatic interactions shape functional properties. These examples illustrate how improved understanding and modeling of protein electrostatics can provide mechanistic insight into complex biological systems.
