I study how protein structures and molecular interactions shape gene regulation, disease mechanisms, antimicrobial activity, protein quality control, and cellular homeostasis.
This site is a ¹H–¹⁵N HSQC spectrum. Every gold peak is a page: hover or tap a peak to read its chemical shifts, then open it.
What you will find here
This website brings together my research, publications, solved molecular structures, science writing, and training materials. My goal is to make complex molecular science more visible, intuitive, and useful for students, researchers, and science enthusiasts.

About Sk Abdul Mohid, PhD
This is the official personal research website of Sk Abdul Mohid, PhD, a structural biologist and biochemist interested in how molecules govern life — from epigenetic regulation and protein modifications to metabolism, host-defense mechanisms, and disease-linked molecular pathways.
My research spans structural biology, epigenetics, and biochemical mechanisms that control essential cellular processes. During my PhD, I focused on antimicrobial peptides, peptide–membrane interactions, and structure–activity relationships using solution NMR and biophysical approaches.
As a postdoctoral researcher, I study cancer and developmental epigenetics, protein arginylation, protein quality control, cholesterol biosynthesis, and autophagy-linked cancer biology. I combine solution NMR, biochemistry, cell biology, and computational structure analysis to understand how molecules function — and how their misregulation contributes to disease.
Beyond the lab, I am passionate about science communication, visual learning, and building resources that make molecular biology, structural biology, and epigenetics more accessible to students, researchers, and curious lifelong learners.
When I am not in the lab or writing, I enjoy learning new ideas, exploring languages, building science communication projects, and thinking about how curiosity can connect research, education, and creativity.
Molecules behind gene regulation and host defense
From chromatin regulators to antimicrobial peptides: the molecular systems at the centre of my work.
MLL4–TET3
How a hydrophobic motif from TET3 engages the PHD6 finger of MLL4/KMT2D.
GATA4–MEF2C
How cardiac transcription factors cooperate on composite DNA motifs.
ASXL2–MBD6
The molecular interface between the ASXL2-PHD and MBD6-MBD domains.
Antimicrobial peptides
Peptide–membrane recognition and rational peptide design, solved by solution NMR.
Structures I have determined
Six solution NMR structures deposited in the RCSB Protein Data Bank. Select one to open its PDB entry.
Gel & Blot Annotator
Turn a phone photo or scan of a gel or western blot into a labelled, publication-ready figure.
- Detects lanes and bands automatically
- Estimates molecular weights from your ladder
- Quantifies bands with background correction
- Runs in your browser; images never leave your device
Planning the gel itself? The Bench Planner works out protein size, pI and concentration, what to load per lane, gel recipes and buffers.
The universe is not made of atoms. It’s made of stories. We are those stories — learning, unlearning, and discovering who we truly are.
