STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS
Structural dynamics are essential for understanding every biological mechanism—ranging from chromosome organization and biomolecular phase separation to membrane-protein function—and are the focus of our work in the Protein Structural Dynamics Lab (PSDL).

METHODOLOGIES & TECHNIQUES
We employ the novel HS-AFM technique to directly visualize protein movement and dynamics, and complement this with single-molecule approaches such as fluorescence microscopy and magnetic tweezers to probe protein dynamic behaviors.
