Description of Research Expertise

The Dutton lab is interested in determining factors governing electron tunneling through natural proteins engaged in electron transfer, energy conversion, signaling, regulation and enzyme redox catalysis. We are also involved in de novo design and synthesis of proteins engineered to perform natural functions such as electron transfer, proton translocation, charge driven conformational changes and redox catalysis in structured highly simplified settings
