Elliott Group Research Featured in Biochemistry
The Biochemistry Journal reports on research conducted by Professor Sean Elliott and his Research Group and their collaborators at MIT; Professor Catherine Drennan and her Research Group. Their research provides strong evidence that Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD) plays a structural role in the formation of tetrameric AidB. While their studies clearly show FAD-dependent oligomerization of […]
NSF Funds Elliott Group to Probe Mysteries of the Disulfide Bond
Disulfide bonds play critical catalytic, structural and signaling roles throughout nature. However, little is known about what governs their reactivity at the molecular level. To gain insights into disulfide bonds, the National Science Foundation, has funded Professor Sean Elliott and his Research Group to use direct electrochemistry to characterize the influence of protein sequence and […]
Elliott Receives 2nd Scialog Award
Professor Sean Elliott has received a second Scialog Award from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement. This very competitive award recognizes the highly innovative nature of his work and its potential to be transformative in solar energy conversion. The project, “High Spatial Resolution Electrochemistry of Biological Inspired Systems,” is a collaboration between Professor Elliott and […]
