Luke successfully defended his Masters thesis in which he described his generation of a B12-triggered radical SAM enzyme. We wish him all the best in his new ventures.

Exploring and exploiting metalloenzymes
Prof. Bryan Hunter and his team synthesized and characterized a cool square-planar Co(II) complex that will bind axial ligands under certain conditions. We think the EPR spectroscopy is pretty sweet.

Jenna is a rising senior at Salem College, but thanks to Prof. Dos Santos’ NSF grant, Jenna was able to come to Wake Forest for the summer and work with us. Her project involves expanding the types of substrates radical SAM enzymes can effect. Look for this one amongst your grad school applicants in a year.
