Developing Roles for Phosphates in Systems Chemistry

Welcome to the Pappas Research Group

The fundamental research questions that drive our work are why Nature chose phosphates in almost all biological functions and how we can develop roles for non-biological phosphates in systems chemistry. We approach these questions by incorporating structural and recognition elements in the structure of aminoacyl phosphate esters.
