Gary Dirks
Senior Director, School of Sustainability Faculty
Research Areas of Interest
Senior Director Dirks’s research interests consists of light absorption and energy transfer in polyene-porphyrin esters and energy transfer from carotenoid polyenes to porphyrins. A light-harvesting antenna, mimicry of antenna and photo-protective carotenoid functions by a synthetic carotenoporphyrin, structure of nitroarginine. Dirks’s nitrogen-15 nuclear magnetic resonance study entails:
- Energy transfer from carotenoids to porphyrins
- Stereochemistry of oligomeric proteins
