OverviewAI-generated summary
Bailang Liu's research focuses on the structural analysis of proteins, particularly those involved in viral infections and opioid receptor function. Liu investigates the structural features of SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease in complex with various ligands, aiming to understand mechanisms for inhibiting the enzyme. This work contributes to the understanding of viral disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Additionally, Liu's research explores the κ opioid receptor (KOR), examining advancements in its structural understanding and the implications for developing novel opioid analgesics. This research area holds significance for pain management and the development of safer pain relief medications. Liu has collaborated with Tucker A. Patterson, Fan Dong, Ann Varghese, and Aasma Aslam, all from the National Center for Toxicological Research, on shared publications.
