Proteins are of central importance to many cellular processes. They have the ability to execute a fascinating array of functions and for this reason have long held the attention of researchers determined to uncover their secrets. My research uses molecular biology, biochemical and biophysical techniques to probe structure-function relationships in proteins. Some examples of my past research include protein-protein interactions, heme redox control in the cytochrome c6 family and copper proteins in Streptomyces.
