Antoni Marciniak

Antoni Marciniak is a Researcher and Doctoral student at the Biophysics Unit of KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. His work focuses on understanding molecular mechanisms of membrane proteins, ion channels, and energy transduction systems at atomic resolution. Key research interests include GPCR activation dynamics, ATP synthase motor function, and drug-target interactions.

Education background: Doctoral student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (ongoing).

Research investigations span structural biology, biophysical chemistry, and computational modeling techniques. His studies reveal how protein conformational changes mediate substrate binding, energy conversion, and ligand specificity in critical biological systems such as ion channels (Kcng4b in ear development), opioid receptors, and F1-ATPase.

Publications highlight contributions to understanding molecular motors' directionality, drug design principles for antitubercular agents, and GPCR activation mechanisms. Research emphasizes atomic-resolution insights into proton transfer pathways and ligand effects using advanced simulation methods like coevolution-driven modeling.

Currently affiliated with the Biophysics Unit at KTH, contributing to interdisciplinary studies at the interface of physics, chemistry, and biology.
