Center to Advance Molecular
Interaction Science (CAMIS)
University of New Hampshire, Durham, Nh
Research project centers on determination of the valence of
macromolecules using unique analytical electrophoresis instrumentation
developed by CAMIS and capillary electrophoresis.Additional
research performed on the biophysical characteristics of
recombinant spider silk proteins. Other
biophysical chemistry instrumentation includes analytical
ultracentrifuge,
surface plasmon resonance, light scattering with HPLC, viscometry and
densitometry.
