Toward Engineering Oxygenase Activity into the Electron Transfer Protein Azurin
… in understanding the function of metalloproteins and is critical to harnessing their power. Modeling within a protein scaffold offers a pathway to the rational design of desired function s by use of Nature’s own tools; both to gain novel insights into metal-mediated processes and to …

Isolating, characterizing, and engineering novel Cu-proteins and peroxidases
Metalloproteins are a fascinating class of proteins that function at the heart of several important biological processes including photosynthesis, respiration, and nitrogen fixation. It is even more amazing, considering that nature uses a small set of tertiary structures and metal centers to …

A Continuum Electrostatic Approach for Calculating The Binding Energetics of Multiple Ligands
Complex biomolecules like proteins or nucleic acids can transiently bind various ligands, e.g., electrons, protons, ions or larger molecules. This property is the key to enzymatic catalysis, regulation and energy transduction in biological systems. Interactions between different ligand binding …

Exploring the Function of Cytochrome c6A
The electron transfer protein cytochrome c6 (c6) of photosynthesis was believed to have been lost in plants until a ubiquitous and highly conserved homologue, named cytochrome c6A (c6A), was identified. Soon after its discovery, c6A was shown to be unable to replace c6 (or plastocyanin) …

The P Cluster of the Azotobacter vinelandii Nitrogenase Complex: Effects of Substitution at the Cluster-bridging Residue, a-Cys88
… the role of the nitrogenase component, theMoFe protein, in the catalytic mechanism of biological nitrogen fixation. This dissertation research centers on the role(s) of the P cluster, one of the two unique FeS clusters of the MoFe protein, in the electron transfer mechanism of nitrogenase. Prior …
