My group develops catalysts that merge the benefits of enzymes and abiotic chemistry. In one research area, we are using DNA as a nanoscaffold to accelerate the discovery and enhance the activity of abiotic catalyst systems. I will describe a platform to rapidly evaluate up to a million DNA nano-catalysts ...
In 2008, a groundbreaking milestone was achieved when scientists captured the first mass spectra of intact membrane protein complexes, detached from their native detergent micelles, directly in the gas phase. This achievement opened a new frontier in nanoscience, allowing detailed investigation of the molecular architecture and dynamics of these elusive, ...

Rewriting the Periodic Properties of the f-ElementsThe advent of the nuclear age transformed our society. However, fundamental chemical control of the bonding, reactivity, and electronic properties of the f-elements (the lanthanides and actinides) - the elements that drove this initial technological revolution - is still developing. As a result, fulfilling the promise of the nuclear age ...
