Prof. Berliner’s research goals are to understand structure/function relationships in proteins and enzymes. His approaches involve the applications of magnetic resonance (NMR, ESR) and fluorescence techniques, which shed light on the dynamic aspects of biological structure in solution. Another interest is in the detection and characterization of free radicals in biology and medicine. This exemplifies our need for an interdisciplinary team of researchers spanning molecular biology, biochemistry, enzymology, instrumentation development, biological spectroscopy, physiologists, and organic syntheses. Our current interests fall into two areas: lactation (lactose synthase), and in vivo ESR imaging.
