Biography
Dr. S Mazumdar is a senior professor at the Department of Chemical Sciences. He is involved in the study of structural and mechanistic aspects of the biochemical function of various electron transfer and redox metalloenzymes using different physicochemical techniques. Studies on wild type, and specifically designed mutant proteins are being carried out in the laboratory. The metalloenzymes currently being studied are:cytochrome c oxidase, cytochrome P450 and peroxidases. He is involved in the study of Enzyme kinetics, Protein stability and unfolding-refolding processes, protein engineering etc
