Biography

I am Professor of Structural Biology. I read Biochemistry at York, with a final year project using X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of a small bacterial ribonuclease. I continued using X-ray crystallography for my PhD in the Physics Department at Imperial College, London with studies of the mechanism of the glycolytic enzyme Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase. After my PhD I continued to use protein crystallography to investigate enzyme mechanisms at Harvard, Imperial College and at York. I took a post at Leicester in 1995, where I work on the structures and mechanisms of redox and other enzymes, using X-ray crystallography to determine structures and neutron crystallography in order see the positions of hydrogen atoms. We are currently developing ways to use electron diffraction in time-resolved studies.

Qualifications

  • BA (Biochemistry) University of York, 1980
  • Ph.D. (Biophysics), DIC, Imperial College, University of London, 1984

Teaching

Most of my undergraduate and post-graduate teaching reflects my research interests: the structure of proteins, how enzymes work, and the methods of structural biology, particularly protein crystallography.

Research

Research is documented in my LISCB Page.

Supervision

My interests are in using structure to understand enzyme mechanism, particularly of redox enzymes and the enzymes of the glycolytic/gluconeogenic axis in enteric pathogens. I am keen to expand the methods used, especially to study the structures of enzyme intermediates. This may include developing neutron crystallography, dynamic crystallography with synchrotrons or X-ray free electron lasers.

Research also takes place at synchrotrons (Diamond Light Source, ESRF in Grenoble), neutron sources (ILL in Grenoble, FRM-II in Munich, ONRL in USA) and Free Electron Lasers (SACLA in Japan, EuXFEL in Hamburg).
