Jason Crack is a Research Fellow at the School of Chemistry, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, University of East Anglia. He specializes in mass spectrometry and structural biology, focusing on protein complexes and biomolecular pathways. His work addresses iron-sulfur clusters, nitric oxide sensing, and sulfur metabolism regulation in bacteria. Crack collaborates with institutions and research councils globally, including the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). He leads or co-leads projects such as 'Spectroscopic and synthetic facilities for supramolecular and macromolecular systems' and 'Iron-sulfur cluster-containing sensor regulators: mechanistic and structural studies.' His research combines biophysical techniques to explore protein assembly and functional dynamics.
Crack's research interests revolve around understanding how proteins interact with iron-sulfur clusters and small molecules like nitric oxide. He investigates the structural basis of these interactions, their roles in bacterial stress responses and metabolic pathways, and develops mass spectrometry methodologies to characterize these systems. His studies bridge biochemistry, microbiology, and analytical chemistry, contributing to both fundamental and applied biological knowledge.
His recent articles highlight advancements in native mass spectrometry applications, nitrosative stress regulation, and sulfur allocation mechanisms in bacteria. These studies emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to probe protein function and cellular processes under stress conditions.
Crack has secured grants from BBSRC and EPSRC for projects spanning 2014–2026. He collaborates with researchers such as N. Le Brun, P. Olivieri, and J. Butt. While no formal advisees are listed, his collaborative projects suggest a mentorship role in research teams.
He contributed to datasets like 'Liquid-Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Describes Post-Translational Modification of Shewanella Outer Membrane Proteins,' highlighting expertise in proteomics and biomolecular analysis.
