Current projects: Molecular BioPhysics and Nanoscience. Different materials can be grouped according to their mechanical properties. Solids, when subjected to a small shear force, respond with a strain proportional to the force, while liquids respond with a strain rate proportional to the force. Enzymes do both. With this experiment, we discovered that enzymes are viscoelastic. It means the dynamical response is elastic at high frequencies and resembles a viscous flow at low frequencies. Read more. The q...

Synthetic control of ion channels. Synthetic control of ion channels. It is a matter of considerable interest to design new modes of control for ion channels: these can then be used in neuroscience research. Our approach is that such deformable molecules can always be controlled mechanically. Thus we design artificial control mechanisms based ultimately on exerting stresses on the molecule.
