    We are a biophysical research group specializing in the application of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to biological problems. We are active in the following areas:

    1. We have a major effort underway to characterize unusual zinc binding proteins. We have proposed a method for PCR gene synthesis (B. Wilson, Thesis) and are working to isolate protein domains and other zinc binding regions for solid and liquid state NMR analysis. See also (4).

      

     

    2. We collaborate with the Strein lab to study the structural and dynamic basis for separating chiral enantiomers with micellar electrokinetic capillary electrophoresis.

     

    3. We develop and disseminate laboratory and course experiences that effectively introduce undergraduate students to NMR. See our NMR Education Link for more info and dowloads.

     

     

    4. We are investigating the use of alternative data sampling and processing to accelerate and enhance the acquisition of multi-dimensional NMR data. We hope this work will help in the study ofmetalloproteins.
