Geoff Jameson

Biography

Dr. Geoff Jameson  is currently working as a Professor in Structural Chemistry and Biology in the Department of  Fundamental Sciences, Massey univesity , Newzealand. His research interests includes span solid-state chemistry to enzyme structure and function to origin of life studies. Much of this research is underpinned by use of X-ray diffraction techniques as the ultimate "microscope" into the structure of matter.. He is serving as an editorial member and reviewer of several international reputed journals. Dr. Geoff Jameson  is the member of many international affiliations. He has successfully completed his Administrative responsibilities. He has authored of many research articles/books related to span solid-state chemistry to enzyme structure and function to origin of life studies. Much of this research is underpinned by use of X-ray diffraction techniques as the ultimate "microscope" into the structure of matter..

Research Interest

Protein structure and function, including milk proteins (especially β-lactoglobulin and lactoferrin), proteins of fungal secondary metabolism, biological defences against reactive oxygen species (especially iron and manganese superoxide dismutases, enzymes from metabolic pathways of microorganisms and plants not shared by vertebrates (especially shikimate, bacterial cell wall and lysine biosynthetic pathways, 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase, 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate synthase and dihydrodipicolinate synthase), Pectin methylesterases as molecular motors, including application of molecular dynamics to enzyme mechanism. Evolution of protein structure and function, enzyme allostery, protein dynamics, Protein structure determination by X-ray (especilly ultra-high resolution protein structure) and NMR methods.
