Chemistry

Bio-X SIGF and Larry Yung Fellow 2010
Professor Lynette Cegelski (Chemistry)

Xiaoxue is interested in integrating chemistry, biology, and physics to investigate the assembly and function of macromolecular and whole-cell systems. Solid-state NMR is uniquely able to provide a measure of structural and dynamical information for molecular assemblies in their native environments. She wants to employ biophysical and biochemical tools and to design new strategies using solid-state NMR spectroscopy to examine assemblies such as bacterial cell walls (to understand the modes of action of newly discovered antibiotics) and membrane protein ClC-ec1 (to understand at a molecular and atomic level the structure and mechanism of this Cl-/H+ antiporter).
