Partha Basu studies the chemistry of metal-containing enzymes and molecules, with a strong focus on molybdenum-based enzymes such as periplasmic nitrate reductase that help microbes process nitrogen and other elements. The work combines synthesis of metal complexes, spectroscopic and crystallographic characterization, and studies of enzyme structure and reaction mechanisms. A secondary line of work addresses chemistry education, including efforts to improve student outcomes and inclusivity in university courses.
