Anne’s group uses a bacterial model to understand the molecular biology of Hg toxicity and recovery from it. She and her students have employed genetic, biochemical and biophysical methods to uncover the structure and function of a dedicated set of genes conferring inorganic and organic Hg resistance in many bacteria. Recently Anne and her collaborators devised a novel mass spectrometry method to identify over 300 proteins that are damaged when growing bacterial cells are exposed to mercurials. They have also reported major differences in global gene expression between inorganic and organic Hg exposure.
