The Bren Group
We are a bioinorganic research group at the University of Rochester investigating metalloprotein structure and function, and engineering biocatalysts for applications in energy conversion. We work to characterize biomimetic photocatalytic and electrocatalytic reactions. We use a range of techniques including cyclic voltammetry, molecular biology, protein biochemistry, resonance Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence, photochemistry, and NMR spectroscopy applied to paramagnetic biomolecules.
