Welcome to P. Leslie Dutton's Lab


Our mission is to uncover what processes have been evolved to control biological electron transfer and radical reactions, to gain insight on the highly complex natural engineering that underlies the electro-chemical and structural properties of oxidoreductases, and to recognize the failure of this engineering in redox dysfunction within the cell.

blue: oxidized state
red: reduced state
green: excited state
