Presidential Young Investigators Award: Spectroscopic Studies of Proteins in Engineering Environments

研究将集中在两个领域。在一个领域，电子顺磁共振(EPR)将用于探测工程(即制造)环境中的蛋白质相互作用。将研究蛋白质的折叠、聚集和构象动力学。另一方面，超临界流体中自由基反应的EPR测量将提供有关超临界流体溶剂效应的基本信息。

Studies will be focused on two areas. In one area, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) will be used to probe protein interactions in engineering (i.e. manufacturing) environments. Protein folding, aggregation, and conformational dynamics will be studied. In the other area, EPR measurement of free-radical reactions in supercritical fluids will provide fundamental information on supercritical fluid solvent effects.
