Understanding aerobic respiration: Models for the catalytic centre in proton-pumping heme-copper oxidases

这个项目解决了吗？迎头而上？当代生物无机化学中的一个关键挑战是了解原子水平上的有氧生命是如何利用氧气的。我们看到的所有生命都是有氧的，因此这项研究的概念进步将促进对我们世界和我们自己的理解？一个重要的文化目标。推进对这种基本过程的认识牢牢地位于研究优先目标领域：突破性科学。研究生将接受最先进的理论和合成化学方法方面的培训。该项目将增强澳大利亚在生物(无机)化学方面的研究能力，并提升澳大利亚在国际研究界的地位。

This project tackles ?head on? a key challenge in contemporary biological inorganic chemistry, understanding how at the atomic level aerobic life uses oxygen. All life we see is aerobic, and thus the conceptual advances from this research will progress understanding of our world and ourselves? an important cultural goal. Advancing knowledge of such fundamental processes sits firmly in the area of the Research Priority Goal: Breakthrough Science. Postgraduate research students will be trained in sophisticated state-of-the-art theoretical and synthetic chemical methodologies. The project will enhance Australia's research capability in biological (inorganic) chemistry and promote Australia's standing in the International research community.
