Research Interest
research uses a combination of mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopy to characterize biological molecules in a highly controlled environment - both isolated in the gas phase and in small complexes or clusters. Using these techniques, we can examine the intrinsic properties (such as structure or stability) of isolated biological molecules. Then selected pieces of the local environment (a known number of water molecules, metal ions or binding partners, etc.) can be added back into the system in order to examine the effect of each, separately. These studies provide a bridge between the gas and solution-phase regimes.
