We research the relation between protein sequence and biophysical behavior.
Bio2Byte is a research group focused on understanding the relationship between protein sequences and their biophysical behaviour using computational and data-driven approaches.
Proteins are the molecular machines that make cells function. Rather than existing in a single static structure, many proteins adopt multiple conformational states and dynamically transition between them. Our research investigates how protein dynamics, conformational states, and experimental data relate to amino-acid sequences, using methods such as data integration, machine learning, and large-scale bioinformatics analysis.

Our work aims to uncover the physical and chemical principles underlying protein behaviour by combining computational modelling, biological data, and experimental insights.
