Mechanistic Basis for Biological Polymer Stability, Electron Transfer and Molecular Sensing in Extreme Environments

Abstract

Research focused on the discovery of the determinants enabling thermal stability in electron transfer proteins. Four specific projects were pursued as summarized below (biochemical characterizations and structural analysis of two thermophilic enzymes, electron transfer reactions in cyanobacteria, and the first description of a thermophilic microbial fuel cell.
