Ionic materials have a large range of applications, ranging from toughened ceramics to catalysis.
The same methodologies are being used to examine the function of proteins and smaller biomolecules. Such studies can lead to the ability to design new biomolecular materials which emulate some of the functions of proteins. This work is being carried out in collaboration with Professors Garland Marshall and Jay Ponder of the Washington University School of Medicine. This work is supported by the National Science Foundation. Modeling of polymerization process underlying the crawling motions of cells.
