Furin Cleavage Bioinformatics
- Analyze furin cleavage sites in protein sequences from different organisms: mammal, bactria and virus, and investigate biology of furin substrates
- Develop database and computational tools for furin cleavage
- Study molecular mechanism of furin cleavage associated human diseases, design drugs targeting proteolytic cleavage of furin and other proprotein convertases
