Structure and Dynamics of Metal-binding Proteins
Our work is concerned with the coordination chemistry of diamagnetic metal ions such as zinc, copper(I), and cadmium in proteins. We are particularly interested in the molecular mechanisms that govern the movements of zinc within whole organisms and within individual cells.
We use NMR and other spectroscopic techniques to study the structure and reactions of metalloproteins. Other techniques that are indispensable in our work are Electrospray Mass Spectrometry and protein expression and purification.
