OverviewAI-generated summary

Patience Okoto's research focuses on molecular biology, particularly the identification and characterization of peptides with potential therapeutic applications. Her recent work includes the development of methods for purifying heat-stable recombinant proteins and peptides, as well as the molecular modeling, synthesis, and in-vitro assay of peptides targeting the SARS-CoV-2 3-chymotrypsin-like protease. Okoto also investigates fibroblast growth factors, studying their roles and potential as therapeutic agents, including their overexpression and purification. Her publications explore the dynamics of protein structures, such as transient local secondary structure in intrinsically disordered protein termini. Additionally, her work touches upon metabolic studies, examining mitochondrial capacities and quality control following simulated anorexia nervosa. Okoto collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas at Monticello, with shared publications indicating active research networks.
