Group BBQ, June 2012




Senior Researchers

Dr. David Randall


June 2012 - present
Visiting Research Scholar (from Andrews University) in the Lehnert group
Research Project
Mechanistic Studies on the N-N Bond Formation in NO Reductases
I am investigating the spectroscopic properties and reactivities of dinuclear non-heme iron complexes as models for flavodiiron NO reductases in pathogenic bacteria.


 

Graduate Students

cand. chem. Deidra Gerlach


May 2008 - present
Joint Ph.D. Student in the Coucouvanis and Lehnert groups
Research Project
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).
