Current projects:

- Dynamics of the Bacteriophage lambda DNA packaging
    - Effect of capsid expansion on lambda DNA packaging
    - Effect of gene product D on capsid stability
    - Characterize "slow" motor mutants
    - What triggers DNA cleavage? (does force acting on the motor play a role?)
    - What is the motor step size?

- Dynamics of the Bacteriophage T4 DNA packaging
    - Attempt to manipulate the "ridiculously long" T4 genome
    - What is the motor step size?
    - What triggers DNA cleavage?

- Bacteriophage phi29
    - Heterogeneity in the forces resisting packaging
    - Temperature dependence the DNA translocation rate
    - How is the DNA looped by the terminal protein (gp3) fully packaged?
