Within living systems, molecular-scale responses to stimuli flow together into the intricate
and robust signal transduction networks that process information for an organism. Studies of …

Controlling cooperativity, synchronization, amplification and translation of intermolecular
and intramolecular dynamics over different length scales for applications in stimuli …

Carrier proteins consume fuel in order to pump ions or molecules across cell membranes,
creating concentration gradients. Their control over diffusion pathways, effected entirely …

Abstract The Bernal-Fowler ice rules stipulate that each water molecule in an ice crystal
should form four hydrogen bonds. However, in extreme or constrained conditions, the …

The development and fabrication of mechanical devices powered by artificial molecular
