Di- and Tripeptide Models for Copper and Zinc Aβ Complexes
I am investigating the coordination chemistry of copper and zinc with small peptide fragments that model the metal binding sites of
the Alzheimer protein Aβ.

Models for Bacterial Nitric Oxide Reductase
My doctoral research focuses on the syntheses, spectroscopic properties, reactivities
and electronic structures of Fe(II)-porphyrin NO model complexes relevant to denitrification.
I am investigating the properties of small model complexes of type
[Fe(TPP*)(L)(NO)]n+. In addition, I am studying
the reactivity of nitric oxide with synthetic heme/non-heme diiron complexes
with an axial nitrogen ligand as a model for bacterial nitric oxide reductase (bacterial NOR).

Model Complexes for Multielectron Reductases
I am synthesising model complexes for the active sites of assimilatory multielectron reductases,
which contain a heme catalytic site, covalently linked to an electron reservoir (an [4Fe4S] cluster).
