In our research, we are primarily interested in
(a) membrane transport proteins that store energy and maintain the distinctive compositions of intracellular compartments,
(b) gas vesicle proteins that form the organelles that allow unicellular aquatic organisms to control their depth in the water column,
(c) developing pseudo-classical force fields that allow efficient simulation of proton transfer and chemical reactions in proteins.
Our primary tools are solid state NMR and statistical thermodynamics.
