Single-Molecule Studies of Homologous Recombination
Speaker Eric Greene uses single-molecule optical microscopy to study fundamental interactions between proteins and nucleic acids. " Our overall goal is to reveal the molecular mechanisms that cells use to repair, maintain, and decode their genetic information. This research combines aspects of biochemistry, physics, and nanoscale technology to answer questions about complex biological problems that cannot be easily addressed through traditional biochemical approaches. As part of our work, we have established robust experimental platforms that enable single molecule imaging of biochemical reaction mechanisms in a “ high t...
