Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

Brian E. Schultz博士被授予美国国家科学基金会化学博士后研究奖学金。舒尔茨博士的博士学位是在哈佛大学理查德·霍尔姆教授的赞助下获得的。舒尔茨博士将在加州理工学院继续研究，并得到陈淑妮教授的赞助。舒尔茨博士的博士后奖学金将为他提供蛋白质合成和纯化、快速动力学和高级光谱技能（如EPR、共振拉曼和ENDOR）方面的生物无机培训。从长远来看，他计划研究氧化还原活性金属在蛋白质折叠中的作用，以及在酶机制中的影响，其中基于氧化还原的构象变化被用作变构控制或活性离子运输。化学博士后研究奖学金项目是一项重要的基础设施项目，旨在拓宽新博士的知识和经验，吸引他们从事当代化学研究和教学中有意义的职业。＊＊＊

9403111 Schultz Dr. Brian E. Schultz has been awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Schultz's doctoral degree was from Harvard University under the sponsorship of Professor Richard Holm. Dr. Schultz will continue research at the California Institute of Technology under the sponsorship of Professor Sunney Chan. Dr. Schultz's postdoctoral fellowship will provide him with bio-inorganic training in protein synthesis and purification, fast kinetics, and advanced spectroscopic skills such as EPR, Resonance Raman and ENDOR. Longer term, he plans to study the role of redox-active metals in protein folding and the ramifications on enzyme mechanisms where redox-based conformational changes are used as allosteric controls or in active ion transport. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry Program is viewed as an important infrastructural program designed to broaden the knowledge and experience of new Ph.D.s and attract them into meaningful careers in contemporary chemical research and teaching. ***
