My research in the Dordick and Garde groups focuses on the better understanding of enzyme behaviour in organic media. The goal of this work is to join experimental work and molecular simulation to answer fundamental questions: How water molecules act on the surface of an enzyme to influence their activity and structural conformation. Will these water properties have a local or global effect on the surface of the enzyme? Can chemical modifications or direct mutations in the enzyme surface give an answer of how water influences it?
