Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Francis Millett, a professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, studies electron transfer mechanisms in biological systems, particularly focusing on cytochrome proteins. His recent work investigates the dynamics of the iron-sulfur protein in the cytochrome bc1 complex during bifurcated electron transfer. Millett has also examined the evolutionary changes in cytochrome c among higher primates and explored how phosphorylation regulates the reaction between cytochrome c and cytochrome oxidase.
Further research includes the design of ruthenium-cytochrome c derivatives to measure electron transfer to initial acceptors in cytochrome c oxidase. Millett leads an active research group and collaborates with other researchers at the University of Arkansas, including Bill Durham, Lois Geren, Martha Scharlau, and Clayre Parson. He has an h-index of 42 with 4,776 total citations across 144 publications, and has been recognized as a highly cited researcher.
