Research Areas:
Computational and experimental studies of biomolecular structure, dynamics and interactions including:
* classical atomistic molecular dynamics simulations
* protein-protein and RNA-protein interactions, induced fit, conformational selection
* evolution of the genetic code and RNA-protein interactions
* conformational entropy in biomolecular interactions
* structure, dynamics and interactions of proteins in crowded environments
* conformational averaging and its influence on biomolecular structure determination
