Professor Sebastian Doniach is an Emeritus Faculty member at Stanford University, specializing in Applied Physics and Physics. His research focuses on understanding how biomolecules relate to atomic structure and involves using scattering techniques with synchrotron X-rays at SLAC and Argonne National Laboratory. Doniach's recent studies have highlighted the role of small RNA molecules in the genome of eukaryotes and their function in gene expression, particularly through the study of riboswitches and their interaction with protein transcription factors. His group's work on bio-simulation aims to depict the changes in molecular structure and dynamics at an atomic resolution, with efforts to model the conformational changes in molecular motors like DNA polymerase. Further research involves addressing large Coulomb forces impacting DNA RNA through computational methods and statistical mechanics.
