Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Patience Okoto's research focuses on the purification and characterization of recombinant proteins and peptides, with a particular emphasis on heat-stable, low molecular weight molecules derived from GST-fusion products. Her work includes the development of simplified purification strategies and the one-step purification of bioactive peptides. Okoto has investigated the potential of antiviral peptides targeting the 3-chymotrypsin-like protease of SARS-CoV-2 through molecular modeling, synthesis, and in-vitro assays. Her research also extends to fibroblast growth factors, exploring their roles and emerging therapeutic applications, including the overexpression and purification of mitogenic and metabolic variants. Okoto has contributed to the understanding of transient local secondary structure in intrinsically disordered protein regions. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 4, with 15 total publications and 31 citations. She has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas at Monticello, with multiple shared publications.
