Key areas include understanding the structure and function of mTOR complexes (mTORC1 and mTORC2), the upstream nutrient signals affecting mTOR activity, and the downstream cellular outcomes.

It describes models of protein-ligand binding, explores mechanisms of coupling folding and binding, and discusses the role of intrinsic disorder in cellular functions.
