个人简介
Degrees
Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania
研究领域
Enzyme structure and mechanism, Macromolecular X-ray crystallography, Enzymology, Molecular Biology, Metalloenzymes, Iron-sulfur clusters, Vitamin B12, S-adenosyl-L-methionine and adenosylcobalamin radical enzymes, Posttranslational modifying enzymes, Posttranscriptional modifying enzymes, Natural product biosynthesis
We primarily use X-ray crystallography and biochemical techniques to study the structure and function of important biological systems. Our research focuses on two main areas: Challenging chemistry in natural product biosynthesis and posttranslational or posttranscriptional modifying enzymes.
