Achievement: Devised a novel and accurate computational technique for investigating the self-assembly of large macromolecules, and used this method to reveal the initial stages of self-assembly of the carboxysome, the prototype bacterial
A molecule, called a nucleoside analog and which is composed of an Adenine moeity and glycol group, was deposited on top of the Au(111) surface and studied with scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations.
