Professor Ronald Raines
Professor Ron Raines works on the development of reagents and tools for chemical biology, such as the traceless Staudinger ligation reagent (670359). DTBA (774405), a superior biological reducing reagent to DTT, is another technology to come out of the Raines Lab. Other exciting research has led to an RNA-cleaving enzyme that is in a multi-site human clinical trial as an anti-cancer agent, revealed that an unappreciated force—the n-to-pi* interaction—stabilizes all proteins, created hyperstable and human-scale synthetic collagens, and established chemical processes to synthesize proteins and convert crude biomass into useful fuels and chemicals.
