Macroscopic dielectric models of the protein-solvent system are being developed. Applications can be made to titration and redox properties of side-chains and prosthetic groups, protein stability, solubility, electron transfer, proton transfer, substrate binding affinity or electrostatic steering of substrates by enzymes. Candidates should have a background in phyisics, chemistry, biochemistry or biophyisics, and should have some experience in computer programming. The Department has a strong commitment to both experimental and theoretical research in the structural basis of molecular biology. It includes several research groups in x-ray crystallography and NMR of proteins; theoretical groups working on protein structure, dynamics, energetics and folding; and researchers developing techniques and software for computer graphics of biological molecules. Facilities include a large number of advanced computing workstations, a graphics laboratory, and Convex and Cray supercomputers. Candidates should send a CV, a statement of their research interests and the names of three references to Dr. Donald Bashford Department of Molecular Biology Research Institute of Scripps Clinic 10666 North Torrey Pines Road La Jolla, California 92037 USA Electronic mail: bashford@scripps.edu phone: (619) 554-9612 FAX: (619) 554-8841 The Research Institute of Scripps Clinic is an equal opportunity employer.
