Another focus is on the dynamics of protein-DNA complexes, using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and stopped-flow methods. His research interests include the structure, properties, and function of nucleic acids, protein-DNA interactions, mechanisms of control of gene expression, and the effects of antitumor compounds on DNA, the dependence on the activation energy for DNA bending by proteins on DNA sequence, and the physical chemistry of biological polymers, particularly nucleic acids.
