PROFESSIONAL FACULTY RESEARCH

(Structural Biology and Biophysics) Macromolecular structure and function using diffraction and cryo-EM. Enzyme mechanisms, protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions.


BIO

The laboratory has a long term interest in understanding the relationship between atomic resolution structures and molecular function. We use X-ray crystallography and electron cryo-microscopy as the primary structure determination tools. We are interested in a wide variety of enzymes and membrane transporters, from both a basic biology perspective as well in their relevance to disease and applications. A major factor that drives the labs research is curiosity and our work on ‘cockroach milk’ and ‘blue fish’ are popular examples. There are two threads that run through the labs research program. The first one is on being sweet (sugars, especially nine carbon sugars) and the second metal (Fe/Zn) enzymes.
