Augusta, Ga.- The binding of small and large molecules to various DNA sequences will be discussed during a presentation at Augusta State University by Dr. Karen Buchmueller, assistant professor of chemistry at Furman University. This free presentation will be held on Thursday, Nov.6, at 1 p.m. in 170 University Hall. Dr. Buchmueller’s research focuses on the selective binding of both small and large molecules to various DNA sequences, which could lead to the development of new drugs such as anti-cancer and cardiovascular drugs, which selectively target specific portions of the human genome.
