Assistant Professor John Finke Studies Protein Folding
Assistant Professor John Finke, of the Department of Chemistry at Oakland University, and his coworkers recently published a paper in the Journal of Physical Chemistry B, titled "Crystallographic B-Factors Highlight Energetic Frustration in Aldolase Folding" (vol. 112, pp. 10417–10431, 2008). The goal of the paper is to examine a important and long-standing problem in biophysics: how do proteins fold? In particular, Finke et al. use computer simulations to test a particular mathematical model of protein folding, and compare their results to experimental data. Finke's coauthors were both OU graduate students when they wrote the paper.
