Welcome
Our
laboratory studies proteins: most particularly protein-DNA
and protein-ligand interactions, along with protein folding
and stability. Our work is primarily focused on the energetics
and global structural attributes of these processes and how
they are controlled. We utilize several different model systems
to address questions in these areas, including the Type 1
DNA polymerases from Escherichia coli and Thermus
aquaticus, HIV Reverse Transcriptase, the mouse adipocyte lipid binding protein,
and the classic allosteric enzyme aspartate transcarbamylase.
