SUMMARY of research interests (100 words)
Nick Fletcher's principle interests lie in the structural considerations in discrete transition metal complexes, with particular emphasis on their application in sensing within a biological environment. Current research interests include structures to understand the selective binding to phosphates, and enantioselective recognition of biologically important anions, and structural probes to determine secondary structure in DNA.
