From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Michigan State University. My laboratory uses computational and experimental methods to study protein structure, and to investigate the molecular forces and events involved in folding and self-assembly.

Although a relative newcomer to wikis, I'm intrigued by their potential for scientific collaboration and as a teaching tool. I'm also impressed by the efforts of the MCB Wikiproject to produce well-referenced review articles.

Although I'm new to wikis, I've been developing public-domain resources for teaching biochemistry, particularly protein science. Some example quiz problems are given here. I've written several hundred such problems and I would be happy to see them used more broadly. I would also appreciate any suggestions for improving them.
