My current work for [Prof. Yang][GY] involves unfolding proteins using
an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) at different temperatures to estimate
the roughness of their free energy landscape. For a brief overview of
force spectroscopy, see my [[two second
summary|Force_spectroscopy]]. For more detail, you can look at some of
my [[papers|tags/papers]].

I've written some [[experimental control software|unfold_protein]], a
Monte Carlo simulation program ([[sawsim]]) for analyzing the
unfolding sawtooth curves, as well as software for calibrating AFM
cantilevers via the thermal tune method ([[calibcant]]), scaling the
unfolding data, selecting good curves, and fitting those curves with
wormlike chains ([[Hooke]]).

Along the way I've had to learn way too much about the internal
workings of our [[MultiMode]] AFM.

I've also posted my notes for our [[Debian cluster|Abax]].
