AbstractWith the support of the Chemistry of Life Processes Program in the Chemistry Division, Dr. Jonathan Rittle from the University of California, Berkeley investigates molecular complexes and enzymes that mediate challenging oxygen-dependent reactions. Biological systems harness atmospheric oxygen for central metabolism, the augmentation of potential pharmaceuticals, and the activation of strong chemical bonds. The importance of these systems has been recognized by generations of chemists, yet, the
