A world-renowned leader in biochemistry and biophysics, Dr. Chan was a pioneer in the application of innovative spectroscopic and biophysical techniques to study membrane proteins—particularly membrane-bound metalloenzymes—uncovering the structure, function, and behavior of these essential molecular machines. His original and far-reaching contributions also extended to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of “vertical” base-stacking forces in nucleic acids, methane oxidation, and protein folding.
