معرفی
Jack J. Skalicky, PhD is a Research Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Utah and serves as Director of the University of Utah Health Sciences Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) core facility. His research focuses on two primary areas: the structural biology of human MIT proteins and their interactions with ESCRT complexes, and the analysis of protein dynamics in enzyme systems, particularly regarding conformational changes linked to catalytic function.
- Key Research Areas:
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy
- Biomolecular structural biology
- Protein dynamics and enzyme catalysis
- ESCRT protein interactions in cellular trafficking
- Affiliation:
- University of Utah Department of Biochemistry
- Director, Health Sciences NMR Core
His recent publications highlight studies on arginine kinase dynamics, ESCRT-III phosphorylation, and toxin-protein interactions, with a focus on NMR and crystallographic methodologies. Dr. Skalicky has collaborated extensively on projects spanning molecular biology, enzymology, and marine natural product characterization.
Dr. Skalicky's career spans postdoctoral training at The State University of New York at Buffalo and the University of British Columbia, academic appointments at the University of Colorado, and advanced training at the University of Northern Colorado and the University of Wisconsin. He utilizes interdisciplinary approaches to investigate fundamental biochemical mechanisms.
