Research Interests

    Photosynthetic and respiratory electron transfer pathways and structure, function and biogenesis of cytochrome complexes

    Prof. Fevzi Daldal interested in understanding the molecular basis of biological electron transfer during cellular energy tranduction in photosynthesis and respiration. These basic metabolic pathways contain several multisubunit, membrane-bound protein complexes with various redox-active prosthetic groups. They are vital components for important cellular functions ranging from ATP synthesis to secretion, solute transport, motility and thermogenesis. Their dysfunction severely compromises cellular energy production, and leads to low crop yields in plants (photosynthesis), or neurological and muscular diseases in humans (respiration). A detailed understanding of how these evolutionarily well-conserved energy producing molecular machines perform their functions is of considerable biological significance and of general interest. Their studies aim to define the structure, function, assembly, biogenesis and regulation of these proteins in response to environmental signals, such as light and oxygen. Cytochrome bc1 complex and cytochrome cbb3 oxidase, which are membrane-associated proton bumps, and their physiological electron carriers the cytochromes c2 and cy are currently under study.
