    Entanglement protein misfolding and Aging
    With age, at the proteome level, many proteins exhibit age-associated structural changes (~15% in Yeast). We are interested in why are some proteins is more susceptible to age-associated structural changes? Is there a pre-existing condition for failure? We found that entangled protein misfolding could contribute to age-associated structural changes.

    Hydrophobic effect on the Ribosome
    We found that the hydrophobic effect is weakened in the ribosome vestibule due to greater water ordering.
