  ANALYSIS OF HAV MOTIF
Cadherins have HAV motif in the first cadherin repeat that is believe to be responsible for the specificity. It might be interesting to see if this is conserved in other families of cadherins.
  ANALYSIS OF CALCIUM BINDING SITES

Cadherins are a calcium dependent adhesion protein. The calcium binding site is known for epithelial cadherin. It might be interesting to find similar sites in other cadherins.

  COMPUTER MODELING OF CADHERIN REPEAT

We are doing structural work in our lab to try to find the mechanism of binding of epithelial cadherins. When we have a structure, it would be interesting to model other cadherins. It might give insights on specificity and homophilic binding.
