|
|
The Houk Group solves problems in organic and bio-organic chemistry
using theoretical and computational methods and programs. Some of
the group members are also involved in experimental research to
test theoretical predictions and to develop new reactions, reagents,
and catalysts which have been designed from theoretical investigations. |
 |
The Houk Group conducts research in the following areas:
- Understanding and design of stereoselective organic reactions and catalysts
- Pericyclic reaction mechanisms, rates, and synthetic applications
- Gating in proteins and synthetic hosts: a new factor in molecular recognition
- Exploring the origins of biological catalysis
- Reactive intermediates in biology and the atmosphere. Potential surfaces, dynamics, and solution simulations
- Molecular devices and structures and properties of organic materials
