Research Interests
Reduction of potentially toxic oxoanions by kinetically active cellular and
non-cellular substrates.
Stereoselectivity in Biomolecular Reactions Involving Metal Ion
Complexes.
Molecular Mechanics(MM) and its uses in the study of structural aspects of
ligand systems and complexes of main group and transition metal ions.
The search for potentially useful novel bimetallic and trimetallic
systems.
The mediatory role of dissolved molecular oxygen in redox reactions with
particular emphasis on amino acids, vitamins and small molecular weight
substrates of biological interest.
