OverviewAI-generated summary

Divya Sapkota's research investigates molecular mechanisms underlying human protein synthesis, with a focus on the role of ribosomes and transfer RNA (tRNA) during translation elongation. Sapkota utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to resolve conformational changes in ribosomes and studies the pivoting motion of aminoacyl-tRNA during proofreading in human protein synthesis. This work contributes to understanding fundamental processes of gene expression at the molecular level. Sapkota has co-authored four publications, including recent work in 2024 and 2025, and has a citation count of 8 with an h-index of 2. Key collaborators include Dylan Girodat and Anuradha Chowdhury from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom Sapkota has shared multiple publications.
