My work is exciting and I like the friendly and collaborative environment here, it is like a family!

Towards a Completely Artificial Working Cell!
ASU researchers Ana Moore, Devens Gust and Tom Moore have succeeded in reproducing several of the most fundamental functions of a working cell, i.e. light driven proton and calcium ion pumping across a membrane and ATP synthesis. The light-active element in the complex system is a multifunctional organic molecule that was developed at ASU. The work both provides a beautiful example of an application of fundamental chemical principles to a complex and challenging practical application, and illustrates the kind of research that the resources and collaborative atmosphere at ASU provide.
