Headshot of Tatyana Mamonova, PhD

Dr. Mamonova's research focuses on molecular modeling of the interactions of the adapter protein EBP50/ NHERF1 with its target ligands, including parathyroid hormone receptor and type II sodium-dependent phosphate co-transporters. The goal of these studies will contribute to our understanding and prediction of conformational reorganization and the structure-function relationships in NHERF1 proteins associated with the ligand binding. The results will provide insights into developing drugs for selective therapeutic applications.
