My research interests are to understand the forces and energies that control the assembly and the conformation of biological molecules. This is motivated by the phenomena of membrane assembly, the fusion of membranes, molecular recognition and activity. The systems interogated, through the development of an osmotic stress method, are lipid bilayers and other selected molecular assemblies and single functioning molecules. The solvent, water, has been shown to contribute far more to the forces and energies of these molecular processes than heretofore recognized. The contribution of water binding reactions to the energetics of functioning enzyme activity through conformational change is being measured.
