OverviewAI-generated summary
Divya Sapkota's research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of protein synthesis and the structural dynamics of ribosomes. Her work utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to investigate conformational changes in ribosomes during translation elongation. Sapkota has also studied the role of aminoacyl-tRNA pivoting in protein proofreading during human protein synthesis. Additionally, her research has explored the impact of Diamond-Blackfan anemia-associated mutations on the structural dynamics and stability of ribosomal proteins, specifically uL18 and uL5.
Sapkota collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Dylan Girodat and Anuradha Chowdhury, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Her scholarly contributions include five publications with a total of 13 citations and an h-index of 3. She is actively publishing, with recent work appearing in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
