Prof. Guo Ping Zhou is a Professor of Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine at University of California, USA. He received his Ph.D from University of California, USA in 1996. Prof. Zhou determined the 3D NMR structures of some proteins, protein-DNA complexes, super lipids such as dolichol and other polyisoprenyls, as well as polyisoprenol recognition sequences. Prof. Zhou has successfully introduced the elegant wenxiang diagrams to elucidate the mechanisms of the coiled-coil proteins, proteinlipids, protein-DNA interactions, and prion protein misfolding observed by NMR. Meanwhile, he has also published many papers in Bioinformatics. Prof. Zhou’s current research is focused on investigation into the relationship between the functions and structures of polysialyltransferases. In addition, Prof. Zhou has also edited some special issues on the fields of structural biology and medicinal chemistry for several influential scientific journals.
