报告人简介：

 

Professor Rokita’s research program is united by a common interest in describing the structure and activity of biological macromolecules through their essential chemical reactivity.  The methods of organic synthesis, physical organic chemistry, protein and nucleic acid chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology are applied to questions on enzyme catalysis and nucleic acid modification.  Current projects include enzymatic dehalogenation, DNA photochemistry and electron transfer, and reversible covalent chemistry expressed by quinone methide intermediates.
