Research Information
- Research Overview
Molecular motors
Structural, dynamical and optical properties of molecular assemblies and nanostructures for the creation of nanoscale mechanical devices.
Biological molecules
Structural and optical transitions of biliverdin, a photo-sensitive protein.
Structural, vibrational, and optical properties of organic macrocycles for rotaxanes.
