Dr. Jerome Sullivan of Chapel Hill is very well informed ..

This guy .. too ..

Dr. Jorge H. Rodriguez is a prominent researcher in the field of
biomolecular physics. In particular, he is a leading authority in the
physico-chemical properties of iron-containing proteins such as the
oxygen-transporting hemoglobin in mammals and hemerythrin in marine
invertebrates. Dr. Rodriguez takes an interdisciplinary approach to
science by applying the rigorous concepts of quantum mechanics and
other fundamental principles of physics to study metalloproteins,
metalloenzymes, and other biomolecules. Dr. Rodriguez obtained a M.S.
degree in Physics and a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics from the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After his graduate studies Dr.
Rodriguez did extensive postdoctoral research at the University of
California, Berkeley and later became a staff research associate at
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Since 2001 Dr. Rodriguez has
been an assistant professor of physics at Purdue University.

Dr. Rodriguez has been the recipient of an International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) fellowship for work in ionizing radiation metrology in
Seibersdorf, Austria. He also received an IAEA fellowship for protein
physics research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In
2004 Dr. Rodriguez received a CAREER award from the National Science
Foundation. This award fosters Dr. Rodriguez's computational research
on biomolecular physics and, in particular, on quantum models of the
electronic structure and biological function of magnetically ordered
metalloproteins. According to NSF, the CAREER is its "most prestigious
award for new faculty members. The CAREER program recognizes and
supports the early career-development activities of those
teacher-scholars who are most likely to become the academic leaders of
the 21st century."

During recent years, Dr. Rodriguez and his team at Purdue University
have been studying the relationship between the electronic
configurations and the function of important metal-containing proteins
and enzymes. This requires using sophisticated computational methods to
solve the basic equations of quantum mechanics to describe the behavior
of valence electronic shells in active sites of metalloproteins. As a
result, Dr. Rodriguez and his group are obtaining a detailed
quantitative understanding of the physico-chemical mechanisms that
govern the behavior of proteins and other biomolecules. This in turn
paves the way for transforming molecular biology and biochemistry into
predictive quantitative subjects rather than descriptive ones.
