Thomas Perkins: Atomic force microscopy measures properties of proteins and protein folding

I received my Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2018 where I studied the mechanical properties of bacterial effector proteins. Currently, my project focuses on the characterization of human cardiac myosin by AFM in collaboration with the Leinwand lab. I'm also investigating the use of bacterial adhesins as high-force protein handles for site-specific force spectroscopy.
