The Beauty of Molecular Modeling

Research in my laboratory incorporates large-scale computer simulations with classical physics, chemistry and biology. Current developments include expanding programs to treat large biological molecules (e.g., DNA and F-actin) and exploring classical/quantum-mechanical combination methods for treating small biological molecules such as short peptides

You are invited to explore our research, meet our group, and learn more about the software we build and maintain for our research.

Specific projects in the group include

1. Glycolytic enzyme interactions with cytoskeletal structures
2. Glycolytic enzyme/enzyme interactions and enzyme/substrate interactions
3. Genome regulatory proteins interacting with DNA
4. Calculating the circular dichroic spectra of small peptides
