Marie Fraser is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Calgary. She earned her B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemistry from Queen's University in 1983 and 1987, respectively. Her research focuses on structural biology, particularly the structure and function of proteins involved in crucial biochemical pathways. Fraser's work includes detailed studies of succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS), an enzyme that catalyzes important reactions within the citric acid cycle. Through X-ray crystallography, she has elucidated the active site and substrate binding mechanisms of SCS, enhancing understanding of multi-subunit proteins and their role in phosphorylating histidine residues in various cellular processes. Her research explores the intersection of energy metabolism and enzyme functionality, with implications for understanding cancer metabolism and drug design. Fraser has received multiple awards for her contributions to science, including the AHFMR Medical Scholar award and an NSERC Faculty Award for excellence in research.
