Research Overview
The general focus of the group is the study of the effects of solvent and cosolvents on the structure and dynamics of biomolecules in solution. Our main tool is molecular dynamics simulations which are used to provide atomic level detail concerning the properties of these molecules. In particular, we are attempting to: i) extend the application of computer simulations to more physiologically relevant conditions; ii) characterize the denatured state of proteins as produced by different cosolvents (denaturants); and iii) to understand the interactions between peptides and proteins in solution.
