Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Patience Salvalina Okoto's research focuses on protein purification and the development of therapeutic peptides. She has investigated methods for simplifying the purification of heat-stable recombinant low molecular weight proteins and peptides, particularly those derived from GST-fusion products. Okoto has also explored the potential of peptides as antiviral agents, including targeting the 3-chymotrypsin-like protease of SARS-CoV-2 through molecular modeling and synthesis. Her work includes the overexpression and purification of mitogenic and metabolic fibroblast growth factors, and she has published on the roles and therapeutic applications of these factors. Okoto collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Thallapuranam Krishnaswamy Suresh Kumar and Suresh Thallapuranam, with whom she shares multiple publications.
