Amy Rosenzweig

Amy Rosenzweig is a Professor, Courtesy Appointment in Chemistry at Northwestern University's Department of Chemistry. She holds a B.S. from Amherst College and a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on the chemistry of life sciences, including metalloprotein function, biological methane oxidation, oxygen activation by metalloenzymes, metal uptake and transport, and natural products biosynthesis. She is affiliated with the Weinberg Family Distinguished Professor of Life Sciences, the Keck Biophysics Facility, and the Chemistry of Life Processes Institute (CLP).

Amy C. Rosenzweig is a researcher at Northwestern University specializing in the structural and biochemical mechanisms of metalloenzymes and metallochaperones. Her work focuses on the structural basis of metal ion coordination and catalytic activity in enzymes involved in methane oxidation, such as methane monooxygenase. She has extensively studied the crystal structures of these enzymes, including their diiron and dicopper centers, and their interactions with metallochaperones. Her research also explores the role of metal ions in enzymatic reactions, particularly in the oxidation of methane and the delivery of copper and iron in biological systems.
