Research Interests
Developing single-molecule fluorescence techniques
(SMF), and utilize them to study the structure, dynamics, interaction,
activity and function of natural and artificial large molecules and molecular
complexes, with a special interest in DNA nanotechnology and protein-DNA
interaction. Designing, assembling and improving DNA motors, aiming to
develop highly reliable motors that operate much faster and more efficiently
than existing motors. Study the structural dynamics of Nucleosome Core
Particle (NCP), especially its assembly/disassembly mechanisms. We study
fundamental DNA dynamics, especially of DNA hairpin. Develop and improve
single-molecule florescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), alternating
laser excitation (ALEX) and high-resolution microscopy techniques.
