Professor Wang's research centers on computational enzymology, specializing in multiscale simulations of metalloenzyme catalysis mechanisms, biological electron transfer processes, and protein design/biosynthesis. He employs quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) methods and molecular dynamics to investigate enzyme reaction pathways, with significant contributions to understanding oxygen activation in cytochrome P450s, lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases, and nonheme iron enzymes. His work bridges computational chemistry and biochemistry to elucidate fundamental mechanisms with implications for enzyme engineering.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2019-2021) reveals a dominant focus on oxygen activation mechanisms across diverse metalloenzyme systems, electron transfer dynamics, and reactive oxygen species utilization. His computational approaches consistently uncover novel reaction pathways in enzymes critical for biocatalysis and metabolic engineering, with publications spanning top journals including JACS, Nature Catalysis, and ACS Catalysis.
