Determination of Structure-Function Redox Potential Relationships for Flavoproteins and Metalloenzymes

这个妇女职业发展研究机会奖项目是在分析化学和表面化学的一般领域以及生物电化学的子领域。在1989年9月1日开始的12个月期间，Stankovich教授将承担一项开发基因工程专业知识的计划，这样她就可以生产具有明确分子特征的金属酶，作为她可以测试生物电子转移过程理论的模型。为了获得这方面的专业知识，Stankovich教授将与不列颠哥伦比亚大学的Grant Mauk教授合作，Grant Mauk教授是位点定向诱变领域的专家。这个职业发展奖将使Stankovich教授能够大大扩大她在生物电化学领域的研究能力。本研究结果对目前对生物电子转移过程的认识具有重要意义。

This Research Opportunities for Women Career Advancement Award project is in the general area of analytical and surface chemistry and in the subfield of bioelectrochemistry. During the twelve month period beginning 1 September 1989, Professor Stankovich will undertake a program to develop expertise in genetic engineering such that she can produce metalloenzymes with well-defined molecular characteristics to serve as models with which she can test theories of biological electron transfer processes. To acquire this expertise, Professor Stankovich will collaborate with Professor Grant Mauk of the University of British Columbia who is an expert in the area of site directed mutagenesis. This Career Advancement Award will enable Professor Stankovich to broaden significantly her research capabilities in the area of bioelectrochemistry. The results of this research could bear significantly on the current understanding of biological electron transfer processes.
