Zhou Biophysics Group at FSU
The Zhou group carries out theoretical, computational, and experimental studies on the structure, dynamics, and function of proteins. Three main directions are: (1) structure, thermodynamics, and kinetics of protein association; (2) functional mechanisms of ion channels; and (3) crowding and confinement effects in cellular environments.
