Tae-Young Yoon is a researcher in the School of Biological Sciences at Seoul National University, focusing on molecular mechanisms of membrane fusion and signaling. His work explores the structural and dynamic aspects of SNARE complexes, their assembly and disassembly, and their role in vesicle fusion. Yoon's research also investigates the interactions between lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and its receptors, including LBP, CD14, and TLR4-MD2, to understand efficient LPS recognition and transfer. Additionally, he studies single-molecule techniques such as magnetic tweezers and optical trapping to analyze protein folding, lipid-raft reconstitution, and nanoparticle-cell interactions. His research spans biophysics, cell biology, and molecular signaling, with a focus on understanding the molecular basis of cellular processes.
