Description

We aim to elucidate the fundamental chemistry of heavy metal - protein interactions. This involves both studies of model systems, designed proteins and naturally occurring proteins, as well as the interpretation of the spectroscopic data using quantum mechanical calculations. We will present data on model systems (coordination compounds) and proteins recorded recently at ISOLDE.
