Xiaoling Xu

Xiaoling Xu is a Professor at both the College of Life and Environmental Sciences and School of Basic Medical Sciences of Hangzhou Normal University since 2020 and 2013 respectively. She holds a Ph.D. in School of Medicine (Tsinghua University, 2004-2008) and a B.Sc. in Department of Life Science (Lanzhou University, 2000-2004).

• Ph.D., Tsinghua University (School of Medicine, 2004-2008)
• Bachlor, Lanzhou University (Department of Life Science, 2000-2004)

Her research spans structural biology of photosynthetic machinery (e.g., Crystal structure of alternative complex III from Chloroflexus aurantiacus), tRNA synthetase non-enzymatic functions (e.g., Human TrpRS zinc activation), and coronavirus protein mechanisms (e.g., Nsp15 hexameric structure). She investigates electron transport systems, protein domain dynamics, and thermostable enzyme engineering.

Her 15 most recent works focus on photosynthetic bacterial systems, membrane protein organization, and structure-guided biocatalysis, with grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (GRANT_NUMBERS: 32471270, 32171227, 31870740, 31570738). Peer review activities include journals like eLife, Nature Communications, and Structure.
