Research Description

Supramolecular dynamics, in which the interaction of small molecules with large assemblies is studied in real time. Examples of supramolecular systems being studied are cyclodextrins, biel salts, DNA and proteins. Laser spectroscopy is employed to measure fast kinetic events.

Health Related Research

The dynamics studies of the interaction of small molecules with DNA and proteins can have implications on understanding the functions of these biomolecules.
