Optical spectroscopy of cryogenic metalated flavins: The O2(+) isomers of M+lumiflavin (M=Li–Cs)
Flavin complexes are used by nature in many photobiological processes, because their photochemical response in the visible range can be strongly modulated by their environment.

A Re-evaluation of Electron-Transfer Mechanisms in Microbial Electrochemistry: Shewanella Releases Iron that Mediates Extracellular Electron Transfer [PDF]
Exoelectrogenic bacteria can couple their metabolism to extracellular electron acceptors, including macroscopic electrodes, and this has applications in energy production, bioremediation and biosensing.

The investigation of interactions in the excited state of flavins using time-resolved spectroscopy [PDF]
In paper I the results obtained with a very short (3 nsec) intense laser pulse as excitation source are described. This pulse excites such a large amount of flavin molecules into higher excited singlet and triplet states that changes in absorption of ...

From iron oxides to infections [PDF]
I was fortunate to have met Terry Beveridge early during my time in graduate school, when my advisor, Francois Morel (a geochemist), recognized the importance of my having a microbiologist on my PhD advising committee.

Are physiological oscillations physiological?
Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.
