We use physical principles to understand complex biological phenomena of proteins, DNA, protein complexes, and other biomolecular structures at the atomic level. No single approach fully characterizes the research that falls into this area as the methods we employ are often problem dependent and complex computer simulations are called for.
Imagine you're in the kitchen, boiling eggs in water. As the water heats up, you'll see wisps of steam rising – a clear sign of water molecules transitioning from the liquid phase to the gas phase due to the increased heat. But here's the fascinating twist: not just the water undergoing a phase transition; the… Read more
