Funded Activity Summary

Metalloproteins and metalloenzymes. Most of the chemical reactions and physical movements in living systems are carried out by proteins. The information for producing proteins from amino acids is stored in the genes, but many biological processes depend on additional atoms or molecules ('cofactors') that are added to a protein after it is assembled. For example, more than 30% of all proteins contain metal atoms which are essential for their function. We are studying the structures of such metalloproteins and metalloenzymes so that we can better understand their activities with long term aims of creating new molecules for biotechnology and/or drugs.
