Macrocyclic Substitutes for Heme in Myoglobin: Protein Crystallography

女性职业发展研究机会奖 项目是在无机，生物无机，和 有机金属化学和相关领域 蛋白质晶体学 在16个月的时间里， 从1989年9月1日开始，Mertes教授将扩大她的 在生物无机化学方面的能力， 1990年在麻省理工学院Gregory Petsko教授的实验室学习 在那里她将学习蛋白质结晶学的原理， 拓宽了她的蛋白质化学知识 随后，委员会注意到， 默特斯教授将回到她自己的实验室， 堪萨斯大学，并把她的新能力，以承担在她的 正在进行的仿生化学研究。 这个职业发展奖将使教授默特斯， 获得新的、至关重要的实验技能，这些技能应该 大大提升了她的研究生涯。

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.
