Welcome to the Slipchenko Research Group!
We are computational chemists interested in understanding interplay between structure and function in condensed-phase molecular systems. Some of the exciting problems we work with are
how do photosynthetic proteins control energy and charge tranfer?
what is the role of vibronic interactions in energy tranfer and how are they affected by a protein environment?
what is the physical make-up of the interactions controling binding in protein-ligand complexes and molecular crystals?
To address these and other questions, we use community molecular modeling software and develop our own tools. Check out our webpages to learn more!
