To describe folding, association and interactions of peptides, proteins, and small organic molecules with the lipid bilayer, we have developed several theoretical methods and implemented them into easy-to-use web tools.  The methods are based on thermodynamic theory of helix-coil transition in water and nonpolar environments, a new anisotropic solvent model of the lipid bilayer, and original empirical energy functions. 

Our research has been supported by: the National Science Foundation (current award #1458002), the National Institutes of Health (current award R21DA040752), the College of Pharmacy, and the Office of the Vice-President for Research of the University of Michigan.
