Albuquerque, NM

• Studied the mechanism and regulation of human Nitric Oxide Synthase as it relates to human health
• Protein over-expression and purification.
• Preparation of enzyme samples for spectroscopic characterization (including enzyme-ligand complexes, reaction intermediates and various metallocenter redox states).

Saint Paul, MN

• Researched the function of Ammonia and N-Oxide metabolic enzymes in the nitrogen cycle
• Expressed, purified and characterized proteins from the ammonia-oxidizing, chemolithoautotroph bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea proteins, including identifying a new family of cytochrome proteins
• Developed a functional Escherichia coli over-expression systems for cytochrome P460, cytochrome c'-beta and nitrosocyanin (native, His-tagged, and cleavable His-tagged)
• Successfully over-expressed the membrane-anchored tetraheme cytochrome cm552 using Shewenella oneidensis
• Crystallized three proteins from Nitrosomonas europaea (optimization, crystal mounting, model building and refinement)
