Zev Bryant is an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment in Structural Biology. He focuses on the research and scholarship of molecular motors that are central to biological processes such as DNA replication and vesicle transport. His laboratory aims to understand the physical mechanisms by which nanoscale machines convert chemical energy into mechanical work. Utilizing single molecule tracking and manipulation techniques, they observe and perturb the substeps of mechanochemical cycles in individual motors. His research interests encompass protein engineering, particularly exploring the relationships between molecular structures and their mechanical functions. Broad topics of current interest include torque generation in DNA-associated ATPases and the mechanical adaptations of unconventional myosins.
