OverviewAI-generated summary

Yanan Wu's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes and explores the prediction of complex engineering systems. Wu has published work on the computational design and crystal structure of enzymes involved in cocaine metabolism, specifically benzoylecgonine hydrolase. This research aims to understand the molecular structure and function of proteins that process drug metabolites. Additionally, Wu has contributed to studies on the effects of growth factors on bone development in animal models and the role of specific transcription factors in osteoprogenitor cell differentiation. Wu has also explored the application of machine learning and finite element analysis for predicting engineering outcomes, including aircraft landing risks on wet runways and road surface irregularity.
