RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Metalloenzymes (proteins with metals at their active sites) catalyze reactions with a speed and selectivity that is unrivaled by conventional catalysts. We want to understand how metalloenzymes work. Our approach is to correlate metal-site structure with enzymatic function. Currently, we are studying manganese redox enzymes and zinc containing proteins.
