Over the past 50 years, the field of biophysical chemistry has learned an enormous amount about the relationships between the function, dynamics and folding of soluble proteins. The next stage in biological science involves addressing more complex problems on more challenging systems using increasingly sophisticated approaches augmented by computational methods. The Sosnick lab has followed this path. We are conducting studies of membrane proteins, condensates and disordered proteins. Our ability to address these topics arises in part from our expertise in the folding of soluble and more recently, membrane proteins. We build on this experience and knowledge to advance new or improve existing methods. The proposed research relies heavily on hydrogen exchange (HX), a method developed to study folding and dynamics yet possessing broad transferability to many methods. We plan to continue this approach and study the metabolite transport across a bilayer, stress-induced phase separation, and properties of disordered proteins in addition to membrane protein folding. Many of the projects are collaborative, leveraging our skills and interests with those of other labs, which further supports the value of our studies.

在过去的50年中，生物物理化学领域学到了巨大的 关于可溶性蛋白的功能，动力学和折叠之间的关系的数量。生物科学的下一个阶段涉及解决更具挑战性系统的更复杂的问题，使用越来越复杂的方法通过计算方法增强。索斯尼克实验室已经遵循了这条路。我们正在研究膜蛋白，冷凝物和无序蛋白质。我们解决这些主题的能力部分源于我们在可溶性折叠以及最近的膜蛋白的折叠方面的专业知识。我们以这种经验和知识为基础，以推进新的或改善现有方法。拟议的研究在很大程度上依赖于氢交换（HX），这是一种研究折叠和动力学的方法，但具有广泛的可传递性到许多方法。我们计划继续这种方法，并研究跨双层，应力诱导的相分离的代谢物转运， 除膜蛋白折叠外，无序蛋白质的特性。许多 这些项目是协作的，利用我们与其他实验室的技能和兴趣， 这进一步支持我们的研究价值。
