About
Dr. Andrew Okafor uses structural biology and cryo-EM to understand how peptides bind their receptors. At Imperial College, he deciphers the molecular motions that determine agonist potency and selectivity.
Dr. Okafor provides the structural rationale behind peptide binding data, helping researchers interpret affinity and efficacy in mechanistic terms. 2026年6月亲测
Core Expertise
Selected Research Projects
- GLP-1 receptor cryo-EM structural analysis
- Peptide-drug conjugate structural modeling
- Computational docking of retatrutide analogs
Real-World Lesson
A docking model that ignored receptor flexibility predicted a false-positive binding pose. Dr. Okafor now validates every computational prediction with orthogonal cryo-EM or mutagenesis data.
