My research work on metalloproteins seeks to understand the molecular aspects of the various biologically-competent catalytic pathways in heme-containing proteins. The identification of redox-active Trp and Tyr radicals and the characterization of their role(s) in electron transfer and concerted reactivity with the heme cofactor in enzyme catalysis, is of particular interest. The aim is to unveil Nature’s specific strategies to selectively fine tune the reactivity of Trp and Tyr as oxidation sites and/or electron relays in enzyme catalysis. Such fundamental and detailed knowledge is necessary to better exploit heme-containing proteins as natural catalysts, and ultimately design and develop bioinspired artificial mini-proteins, as tunable catalysts to be used in chemical and pharmaceutical industrial applications. Accordingly, our work includes both natural and synthetic heme catalysts.
