Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mercede Furr's research investigates the structural dynamics and stability of proteins, with a particular focus on intrinsically disordered regions and archaeal heat-shock proteins. Recent publications explore the transient secondary structure within the C-terminal region of the Albino3 insertase and compare the stability of natural versus engineered archaeal heat-shock proteins and chaperonins. Furr also studies the impact of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection on differentiated human neural stem cells, examining differential effects between HHV-6A and HHV-6B strains. This work involves collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Thallapuranam Krishnaswamy Suresh Kumar, Colin D. Heyes, Vivek Govind Kumar, and Ruben Michael Ceballos. Furr's publication record includes 17 articles, with an h-index of 3 and 32 total citations, and the researcher has been active since at least 2021.
