Erik Marklund is a researcher at Uppsala University, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry - BMC, Biochemistry, under the Disciplinary Domain of Science and Technology. His work bridges computational biophysics and experimental structural biology, with a focus on protein dynamics, mass spectrometry, and molecular simulations.
His research interests include:
- Biophysics and molecular dynamics simulations
- Native mass spectrometry and ion mobility
- Protein-lipid and protein-DNA interactions
- Structural stability of viral capsids and membrane proteins
- X-ray single particle imaging and coherent diffractive imaging
- Liquid-liquid phase separation and functional amyloids
His recent publications (2023–2025) reveal a strong trend in integrating computational modeling with experimental structural techniques, particularly in understanding protein conformational changes, stability, and assembly. His work spans from fundamental biophysical principles to applications in enzyme evolution and biomaterial design.
Notable scientific contributions include:
- Development of high-performance molecular dynamics methods using the fast multipole method for large protein complexes
- Insights into fractal self-assembly in metabolic enzymes
- Engineering lipid-binding in artificial membrane proteins
- Advancing x-ray single particle imaging through orientation bias modeling
He is involved in multiple funded research projects supported by the Swedish Research Council, EU Horizon 2020, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, and others, indicating active grant acquisition and collaborative research. While no direct students are listed, his frequent co-authorship with early-career researchers suggests mentoring roles. He is part of interdisciplinary teams including SciLifeLab and international collaborations in structural biology.
