Welcome to the Stroupe Lab

How do bacteria reduce sulfur for building amino acids and cofactors?

How do bacteria synthesize siroheme, a unique tetrapyrrole used for sulfur metabolism?

The Stroupe lab is interested in answering these questions using an interdisciplinary biochemical and structural biological approach.
