Elucidating the Basic Principles of Macromolecular & Supramolecular Structure

Using alpha-lytic protease, we have pursued the mechanisms of enzyme specificity and explored fundamental concepts of protein stability and folding. This understanding is now being applied to the problem of nuclear receptor signaling.

In parallel, we have made significant progress in analyzing the structure of centrosomes and chromosomes.

Throughout, we have pioneered the development of new methods for determining structure at both the cellular and molecular levels.
