Personal Details

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.

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).
