OverviewAI-generated summary

Rahul Yadav's research investigates the structural and functional aspects of steroidogenic cytochrome P450 enzymes, particularly CYP17A1. His work includes the structure-based design of inhibitors to improve selectivity for CYP17A1 over related enzymes like CYP21A2. He also explores the application of biomolecular NMR spectroscopy and molecular docking simulations to understand protein binding and dynamics, as evidenced by his studies on bacterial proteins and the solution structure of ADF from *Toxoplasma gondii*. Further research interests include the development of novel materials, such as copper nanoclusters for white light generation and Al2O3 nanofluids for grinding applications. Yadav has published over 120 works, with an h-index of 18 and more than 1,000 citations. He has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith, including Luke Jodoin and Archana Mishra.
