Biophysical Reviews, 2020 My career in science started with my PhD under Professor Darcy Gilmour at the University of Sydney. I quickly learned his iconoclastic ways and completed the degree in early 1969 in just over three years. Professor Charles Birch was the Head of Zoology and had been watching my progress and offered me a position as Lecturer as soon as my PhD was ...

Edge-effects dominate copying thermodynamics for finite-length molecular oligomers
New Journal of Physics, 2021 A signature feature of living systems is their ability to produce copies of information-carrying molecular templates such as DNA. These copies are made by assembling a set of monomer molecules into a linear macromolecule with a sequence determined by the

Drugging Fuzzy Complexes in Transcription
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Transcription factors (TFs) are one of the most promising but underutilized classes of drug targets. The high degree of intrinsic disorder in both the structure and the interactions (i.e., “fuzziness”) of TFs is one of the most important challenges to be
