Profiles in "Proteins" Expertise Area

  • Redding is Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the School of Molecular Sciences at ASU. His current research interests are in structure/function studies of photosynthetic reaction centers and other related areas.
  • Borges has joint appointments in the School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute. His research interests include bottom-up glycomics and developing molecular markers of biospecimen integrity.
  • Vice provost and professor in the School of Molecular Sciences. Jones' research interests are in bioinorganic chemistry, energy-relevant redox chemistry, and electrochemistry.
  • Matyushov's research interests are in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, and biophysics.
  • Ghirlanda is a professor of chemistry at ASU. Her research interests are in chemical biology, protein chemistry, and protein engineering, focusing on the design of functional proteins.
  • Professor of Molecular Sciences at ASU. Allen's current research interests are in biophysics and biochemistry with a focus on the role of proteins in energy conversion and the design of artificial proteins.
  • Dr. Wachter is Emerita Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences. Her research/teaching interests include protein biochemistry, macromolecular X-ray crystallography, physical biochemistry, and biological chemistry.
  • Dr. Flory has an interdisciplinary background with a BS in physics, seven years industry experience, and a PhD in biological design. He works with faculty to develop proposals and manages 2 DOE and 1 NSF funded projects.
  • Professor Chandler’s research focuses on the amphibian protein allurin. Peptides that mimic allurin attract both amphibian and mammalian sperm and are being studied for possible uses in assisted reproduction.
  • Frasch has developed new assays to examine the rotation of single molecules of molecular motor proteins under a microscope.
