Bio/Research

We use theoretical and computational methods to advance our understanding of the structure, dynamics and function of biological macromolecular systems at the atomic level.

We are particularly interested in issues concerning the function of ion channels and other membrane transport proteins such as ion permeation, ion selectivity, and gating. We are also very interested in the activation mechanism and the regulation of allosteric signaling enzymes like tyrosine kinases. Most of our work on these systems is computational although there is also an experimental component to our research with electrophysiological measurements, protein crystallography, and solution scattering.
