Laboratory for Computational Biology & Biomolecular Design (LCBD)

The broad research themes of the Laboratory for Computational Biology & Biomolecular Design (LCBD) at BCE, IIT(BHU) are in the areas of “Computational Protein & Enzyme Design”, “Protein Engineering”, “Large-Scale Mutational Analysis”, “Health Informatics & Therapeutics Development”, “Tools, Pipelines Development”. Our overarching research goal focuses on two major directions: (1) Fundamental and translational research & (2) Methods, pipelines, and tools development.
 
In “Fundamental and translational research”, we develop & utilize (i) Computational Protein Design (CPD) approaches to understand the evolution and emergence of certain macromolecular machines of metabolic, therapeutic, and biotechnological significance. Further, we investigate the (ii) structure-dynamics-function of complex biological systems, employing integrated approaches & gain fundamental knowledge about the determinants of molecular function. Specifically, the goal is to perform large-scale analysis of disease-causing genetic variations, SNPs, rare variants, and conformational analysis through multi-combinatorial approaches.
           
In “Methods, pipelines and tools development”, we (i) design high-affinity protein binders of therapeutic and biotechnological significance, (ii) implement non-natural amino acids in proteins and other biomolecules for affinity prediction & maturation, (iii) develop CPD methods with improved scoring functions and for accounting protein flexibility, and (iv) analyzing & predicting disease-causing/susceptible mutations. For some of these studies, we collaborate with fellow experimental biologists and chemists.
           
Lately, we have also been working on COVID-19, where we predict and comprehend the complexity of several SARS-CoV-2 proteins, drug target interactions, and resistance-causing mutations employing exhaustive CPD strategies, molecular dynamics simulations complemented with mutational mapping, and other computational biophysics techniques to provide insight into the functional outcome of mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 proteins and disease pathophysiology.
