The Bowman lab is beginning a new effort to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying vision and the origins of inherited forms of blindness.  As a starting point, we’ve launched some…

Many biologically relevant conformational changes occur on milliseconds and slower timescales.  Furthermore, many experimental techniques are only sensitive to milliseconds and slower timescales.  Therefore, our ability to reliably capture millisecond…

As part of Folding@home, you know that proteins change their structures (e.g. transitioning from unfolded to folded conformations).  Once a protein is folded, it is very common to think of…

The Biophysical Society, an international group that brings together researchers taking a physical perspective on biology, just had its annual meeting in San Francisco.  A number of us involved with…

I started a few projects to study the dynamics of a protein called dihydrofolate reductase (or just DHFR for short) a few months ago and now have enough data to…

The Bowman lab at the University of California, Berkeley recently purchased its first Folding@home server and I thought I would share a little bit about what’s under the hood.  The…
