Building Magnetic Tweezers
Project Description
Many questions in biology are about the interaction of proteins. Manipulating force in biological systems can provide us some useful methods to address unaccessible questions using the current technique. We are building magnetic tweezers which can be used to study inteactions between proteins and cellular process.
