  1. F z Overview of lab research • 1. PROTEIN MECHANICS – from single molecules to materials • Relating sequence and structure to mechanical function • Structural proteins: collagen and elastin • “Made to order” and harvested from cells • Characterized with optical tweezers • Molecular blueprint for viscoelasticity Collagen triple helix • 2. MOLECULAR MOTORS • Designing and experimentally characterizing novel protein-based motors • Monte Carlo simulations of molecular motors
