ABRC RESEARCH
The Astrobiology Biogeocatalysis Research Center team involves investigators
with expertise in geochemistry, experimental and theoretical physical chemistry,
materials science, nanoscience, and the iron-sulfur cluster biochemistry. We
are focused on addressing and integrating the following challenges in unraveling
biological and mineral catalysis:
Investigation 1
Detailed studies on biological Fe-S catalysts.
Investigation 2
Investigation of catalysis at iron-sulfide mineral surfaces in aqueous and
gas phase systems as models of prebiotic chemical transformations.
Investigation 3
Using nanomaterials to bridge the gap between Fe-S minerals and highly evolved
biological Fe-S metalloenzymes.
