Deciphering the rules through which the amino acid sequences of polypeptide chains direct the folding and assembly of ß-sheet proteins: Identification and characterization of the misfolded and inclusion body states that represent the failure of protein folding processes, with particular emphasis on folding defects from thermal stress. Investigation of the folding and association of human lens crystallins implicated in cataract formation. Protein folding and thermal stress responses in marine cyanobacteria and their phages: protein visualization tools for instruction and science education.
