Our group is uncovering the mechanism of DNA repair
by the light-driven enzyme, DNA photolyase. Photolyase
is a FAD-containing (flavo)protein that uses light to
drive an ultrafast electron transfer reaction between the
protein and the bound DNA lesion. We are using ultrafast laser and biochemical techniques to unravel this
mechanism. We also explore the details of substrate
binding using state of the art fluorescence reporter and
two photon excitation techniques. TEL: (215) 204-2027
