Welcome to the homepage for the Laboratory for Structural Biology and Bioinformatics at Rutgers University in the Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology
Our goals are to understand the structural properties of biological molecules and to relate these structures to their biological functions. Toward these goals, we study the structures of protein-nucleic acid complexes in order help to explain the principles that underlie interactions between nucleic acids and proteins, as well as to increase our understanding of the role of water in mediating intermolecular interactions. We have also established a program in structural bioinformatics. A key focus of this work has been to establish methods to collect, archive, and analyze structural data.
Our research is funded by the National Institute of General Medical Science of the NIH (NIGMS).
