James Letts studies the structure, function and mechanism of membrane proteins that catalyze electron transport reactions and characterize their diverse roles in critical bioenergetic processes and beyond. Research tools in his lab include single-particle electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) and other biochemical, biophysical and structural methods to elucidate the mechanism of electron transport proteins involved in energy transduction and cellular signaling.
