He completed his PhD in chemistry in 1972[6] with a thesis on the physico-chemical properties of metal ion sites in cuproproteins: an investigation of selected copper(II) complexes.[7] Career and researchFrom 1976 to 1984, he was employed by the University of Sydney. Since 1984, he has been employed at the Scripps Research Institute.[6][8] Wright is a proponent of the theory of conformational sampling being of importance to enzyme catalysis and intrinsically disordered proteins,[9][10][11] which is opposed to the theory of electrostatic preorganization.
