Studying the Schizophrenia mouse-model, Egr3 deficient mice, we discovered that serotonin receptors may play a role in the biological differences between drug reactions in wild-type versus mutant mice.

We continued studying the ‘chameleon sequence’ and with a breakthrough were able to extend the sequence to cover the entire C-terminal, structurally divergent domain of the Cro proteins.

Research using a novel “stepping-stone” method to identify natural proteins with similar sequence but different structures.
