David Snyder Professor • Department of Chemistry View CV Professional Interests My research lies at the intersection of computational and experimental biochemistry. In particular, I am interested in developing -- and exploring the mathematics underlying -- processing techniques (e.g. covariance NMR) that facilitate the use of NMR in exploring the chemistry of complex mixtures. I am also interested in the evolution of protein flexibility and of "moonlighting" proteins (and the implications of each in aging and disease processes as well as in protein engineering) as well as in the use of computational and spectroscopic techniques to identify protein ligands, in particular allosteric modulators of protein/small molecule and protein/protein interactions. My research also explores the applications of such techniques to fragment-based drug design.My Google Scholar page is https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=_Y2QjMgAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=sra and my ORCID page is https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6608-2975I do most of my programming nowadays in MATLAB.
