Free Radical Reactions of Amino Acids, Peptides and Proteins
Our objectives in this area are: i) to develop
methods to regulate biochemical processes associated with disease states, ii) to produce physiologically active compounds
with potential as pharmaceuticals, iii) to develop biomimetic synthetic methods, and iv) to produce enzymes with novel
functions and mechanisms of action, to efficiently catalyse classes of chemical processes outside the normal biological
range.
Supramolecular Chemistry and Molecular Recognition
The other main field of research is in the area of supramolecular chemistry and molecular recognition, and involves the design,
synthesis and evaluation of molecular hosts.
Other Collaborative Research
Other research involves studies of the structure of melamine.urea.formaldehy
resins, and the search for alternative reagents and improved manufacturing
processes. Biochemical molecular recognition processes are also being studied,
including the design and development of compounds to inhibit and stimulate
ion-flux through calcium ion channels, and the development of novel enzymes.
