Welcome to the Timucin Lab, led by Emel Timucin at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Gebze Technical University.
We are a computational research group that uses molecular dynamics simulations, protein structure prediction, and bioinformatics to understand how proteins behave and how that behavior can be tuned for therapeutic ends.
Our work spans several directions:
- Molecular dynamics & enhanced sampling — probing conformational dynamics of proteins and protein–protein complexes.
- Structure prediction & benchmarking — assessing modern predictors (AlphaFold, Boltz, Chai, and others) on challenging targets such as antibody–antigen and protein–peptide complexes.
- Variant interpretation — structure-informed prediction of the functional impact of missense mutations, including our AlphaFold-based pathogenicity predictor, AFFIPred.
- Enzymes in non-native environments — how lipases and other enzymes fold, oligomerize, and stay active in deep eutectic solvents.
Join us. We are looking for graduate students (PhD and MSc) who are curious about proteins, simulation, and computational biology. If that sounds like you, please get in touch at emelt@gtu.edu.tr.
