Macrocyclic Substitutes for Heme in Myoglobin: Protein Crystallography

这个女性职业发展研究机会奖项目是在无机、生物无机和有机金属化学的一般领域，以及相关的蛋白质结晶学的子领域。从1989年9月1日开始的16个月期间，Mertes教授将通过在麻省理工学院Gregory Petsko教授的实验室度过1990春季学期来扩大她在生物无机化学方面的能力，在那里她将学习蛋白质结晶学的力学知识，并拓宽她的蛋白质化学知识。随后，默特斯教授将回到她在堪萨斯大学自己的实验室，并将她的新能力应用到她正在进行的仿生化学研究中。这项职业进步奖将使默特斯教授获得新的、至关重要的实验技能，这些技能应该会极大地促进她的研究生涯。

This Research Opportunities for Women Career Advancement Award project is in the general area of inorganic, bioinorganic, and organometallic chemistry and in the associated subfield of protein crystallography. During the sixteen month period beginning 1 September 1989, Professor Mertes will expand her capabilities in bioinorganic chemistry by spending the Spring, 1990 semester in the laboratory of Professor Gregory Petsko at MIT where she will learn the mechanics of protein crystallography and broaden her knowledge of protein chemistry. Subsequently, Professor Mertes will return to her own laboratory at the University of Kansas and bring her new capabilities to bear in her ongoing studies in biomimetic chemistry. This Career Advancement Award will enable Professor Mertes to acquire new, critically important experimental skills that should enhance significantly her research career.
