Dr. Adam T. Fiedler's lab at Marquette University focuses on studying how certain enzymes, particularly those containing nonheme iron, oxidize sulfur-containing compounds. The research aims to uncover the mechanisms behind these reactions through the design of synthetic models that mimic the active sites of these enzymes, which are important for various biological processes, including amino acid metabolism and the production of crucial compounds. Undergraduate students are actively involved in this hands-on research, gaining valuable experience in chemistry techniques.
