Kevin Hoke

Kevin Hoke is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Berry College's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. He holds a B.A. from Rice University and a Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology. His research focuses on electron transfer mechanisms in metalloproteins and redox cofactors, particularly in cytochrome c and related systems. He explores structural and environmental influences on redox properties, such as pH effects, mutagenesis, and ligand dynamics.

Notable research themes include entatic control in metalloproteins, heme protein stability, and the development of electrochemical analysis tools like SOAS. His work bridges inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, and electrochemistry, with applications in understanding biological electron transfer pathways and designing functional protein systems. Dr. Hoke also contributes to undergraduate education through electrochemical laboratory exercises.

His publications span from 1992 to 2025, with recent focus on cytochrome c mutants, Rieske protein engineering, and redox-induced structural changes. His articles consistently highlight protein structure-function relationships and redox regulation mechanisms across diverse systems.
