Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher's work centers on the biochemistry and structural biology of metal-transporting proteins and metalloenzymes, including zinc and manganese transporters, nickel-dependent enzymes, and ethylene-forming enzymes. Research combines structural methods, computational simulations, and biochemical assays to understand how these proteins bind metals, change shape, and carry out catalysis. Note: the bibliographic record includes several publications on unrelated topics (e.g., ocean engineering, power transmission lines), suggesting possible name overlap with other researchers in the database.
