About
I am interested in understanding the nature and behaviour of biological macromolecules, especially proteins and DNA. Though my initial training and background was in physics, I am fascinated by the beauty of the biological world and wish to gradually make a transition and switch fields.
Current Interests...
-
Metal catalyzed oxidation of proteins.
-
Understanding the behaviour of amyloids and intrinsic disordered proteins (IDP's)
-
Macromolecular crowding & DNA compaction
-
Single molecule biophysics; optical tweezers
