Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Denise V. Greathouse is a Research Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Her research focuses on the behavior and structure of lipid membranes and their interactions with peptides and proteins. Greathouse has published work investigating how specific amino acid residues, such as glutamic acid and tryptophan, influence membrane properties and protein structure within these environments. Her investigations often employ molecular modeling to understand these complex interactions. She has co-authored publications with researchers including Roger E. Koeppe from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and Jake R. Price from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

With a career marked by significant scholarly output, Greathouse has authored 149 publications, accumulating over 3,900 citations. Her work has been recognized with a designation as a highly cited researcher. Her recent publications in 2021 explored lipid-dependent titration at membrane interfaces and disorder induced by specific amino acids in transmembrane helices.
