Research in the Waters group focuses on the connection between molecular structure and biological function, specifically with regard to protein folding and biomolecular recognition. To this end, we utilize structured peptides to investigate the role of perturbations in molecular structure. Recent results regarding the impact of posttranslational modifications such as glycosylation, acylation, and methylation, on folding and function will be presented.
