RESEARCH INTERESTS: The research interests in our laboratory have been focused on the structures and structural gymnastics of nucleic acids and their function, and, more recently, on controlling macromolecular structure and stability through halogen bonds for biomolecular engineering applications. To attack these problems, we apply X-ray crystallography, computational biology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics approaches
