Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Thomas M. Deere's research focuses on the biogenesis of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters in archaea, particularly within the methanogenic archaeon *Methanosarcina acetivorans*. His work has investigated the role of the SUF system, finding it is not essential for Fe-S cluster biogenesis in this organism. Deere has also examined the function of the Vht hydrogenase, demonstrating its necessity for hydrogen cycling during nitrogen fixation in *Methanosarcina acetivorans* when it is not utilizing hydrogen as a carbon source.

His research employs techniques such as cryo-electron microscopy to determine the structure of protein supercomplexes, including nitrogenase-PII protein complexes. Deere has co-authored publications with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Daniel J. Lessner, Melissa Chanderban, Jasleen Saini, and Jadelyn M. Hoerr. He has published six total works, accumulating 34 citations, and holds an h-index of 3. His most recent publication is from 2025, indicating recent activity in his field.
