Karl N. Blodgett's work uses gas-phase spectroscopy (UV and IR laser techniques applied to molecules cooled in a vacuum) to study the detailed three-dimensional shapes (conformations) of synthetic peptides, foldamers, and small organic molecules like UV-filter compounds. This research helps reveal how hydrogen bonding and molecular structure influence folding patterns and photochemical behavior, informing basic understanding relevant to protein folding and molecular design.
Publication output peaked around 2018-2019 and has since slowed to about 1-2 papers per year over the last five years.
