Petra Fromme
Arizona State University, Phoenix, AZ, USA
Petra Fromme is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Arizona State University. With over 20 years of experience in the field of membrane protein X-ray crystallography, Dr. Fromme's expertise lies in femtosecond crystallography and developmental methodology for the structural determination of membrane proteins. Specifically, this methodology is related to X-ray structure analysis based on hundred-thousands of X-ray diffraction patterns from a stream of fully hydrated nano/microcrystals of membrane protein crystals.
Dr. Fromme's lab was the first to crystallize and unravel structural questions related to Photosystem I and II. This breakthrough was significant, as Photosystem I (consisting of 36 proteins and 381 cofactors non-covalently bound) and II are the most complex membrane proteins to have their structural makeup determined. In addition, to the Photosystems, the Fromme Lab studies the structures of ATP synthase, as well as membrane proteins involved in infectious diseases.
