The Department welcomes back Dr. Michael Marletta as Professor of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology. Marletta's research lies at the interface of chemistry and biology with a particular emphasis on the study of protein function and enzyme reaction mechanisms and a focus on molecular answers to complex functions in biology.
Current projects include nitric oxide signaling (including aspects of S-nitrosation) in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, molecular mechanisms of gas sensing, and mechanisms and fucntions of polysaccaride monooxygenses.
