研究领域
Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, The use of organic chemistry to study biochemical problems such the folding of disulfide containing proteins. Many extracellular proteins and almost all pharmaceutically relevant proteins contain disulfide bonds. The folding of these proteins in vitro is slow and methods of increasing the folding rate are being investigated.
