Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Paul D. Adams' research focuses on the computational and experimental determination of molecular structures and dynamics, particularly for proteins and biological systems. He has published work on the accurate prediction of protein structures and interactions using neural networks, including investigations into how these predictions can accelerate but not replace experimental structure determination. Adams also studies the structural dynamics of photosystem II, examining intermediates during O2 formation and transitions within its water and proton channels.

His work extends to the development and application of computational tools and databases for structural biology. This includes research on improved AlphaFold modeling with implicit experimental information and recommendations for Cryo-EM model validation. Adams has also contributed to the PDBx/mmCIF ecosystem, developing foundational semantic tools for the field.

With an h-index of 99 and over 134,000 citations across more than 577 publications, Adams is recognized as a highly cited researcher. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Carol Gattis, Jennie Popp, Xochitl Delgado Solorzano, and Patience Okoto, with whom he shares multiple publications. He leads a research group and maintains an active lab website.
