Our research is focused on elucidating the structure and
function of proteins, with particular emphasis on fluorescent
proteins and remodeling enzymes.  The ultimate goal is to
introduce novel biochemical, optical, or functional features
into a protein’s scaffold.  We utilize:

  • Macromolecular X-ray crystallography
  • Mechanistic and kinetic studies
  • Steady-state spectroscopy
  • Ultra-fast spectroscopy
  • Genetic engineering
