معرفی
Dr. Alexei Stuchebrukhov is a Professor at University of California, Davis, leading a computational chemistry group focused on biological energy transduction. He earned his Ph.D. in Theoretical Chemical Physics from Moscow Physical and Technical Institute (1985), with postdoctoral work at Caltech.
His research investigates proton-coupled electron transfer in respiratory complexes (I and IV), developing theories for proton pumping mechanisms in cytochrome systems and mitochondrial function. Pioneering contributions include the tunneling currents method for electron transfer analysis and theories of proton migration along membranes.
Recent publications (2018-2021) examine respiratory complex dysfunction mechanisms, ROS production regulation, and computational methods for protein hydration. His work connects molecular-scale mechanisms to mitochondrial disorders and aging processes.
Awards:
- BPH Advising Award (2022)
- Outstanding Mentor Award (2017)
- Beckman Young Investigator (1997)
- Sloan Fellowship (1996)
He directs research on NADH dehydrogenase proton pumping in collaboration with structural biologists and maintains active development of computational tools for biological electron transfer.
