Yanyan has been trying to understand the antithetic effect of homologous RND1 and RhoD GTPases in mammalian plexin regulation using MD simulations and proposed a putative structural model. This work is now published on eLife, which is a perfect ending of Yanyan’s postdoc training in the group, co-supervised by Drs Yibing SHAN and Chen SONG. This work was in collaboration with Dr. Xuewu ZHANG’s lab at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The paper can be found here.
