Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sibes Bera's research investigates molecular mechanisms underlying viral integration and protein structure-function relationships. His work has focused on the structural basis of host protein hijacking in human T-cell leukemia virus integration and the molecular interactions within the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) concerted integration complex. Bera has also studied the role of specific amino acid mutations in protein structure and function, particularly concerning alpha-crystallin, a protein involved in maintaining lens clarity and acting as a molecular chaperone. This includes examining how mutations like R116C affect oligomerization, structure, and chaperone activity. His publications also include work on DNA repair proteins, such as RecO from Deinococcus radiodurans. Bera's research has generated 37 publications with 737 citations and an h-index of 15.
