Macromolecular Function

The molecular structure and function of macromolecules are crucial foundations of modern quantitative biology from the information coded in genes to the folding of proteins and the transcription process for biological matter.  Our core interests are in the folding of proteins, ribosome function in transcription, the information storage and mutation structure of viruses – particularly HIV, and the quantum mechanical properties of macromolecules related to photo-reactive response as in photosynthesis.  Main applications are in areas of bio-energy and detection and mitigation of the spread of infectious diseases.
