Current Research Interests:
The main research interests of our group include: (1) Molecular Recognition and Molecular Interactions. Proposed the concept of Excess Spectroscopy and worked on the methodologies of two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) and Benesi-Hildebrand method. Trying to expand the applicability of excess spectroscopy and to understand the nature of hydrogen/halogen-bonds and competitive/selective molecular interactions in multicomponent systems. (2) Thermodynamics of Biomolecules. A variety of techniques are employed to address questions concerning the stability of biomembranes, mechanisms of phase transitions of lipids, and unfolding/refolding of proteins under various conditions.
