Research Summary
We carry out computational engineering and experimental validation of enzymes and protein crystallization chaperones.
Research Description
The goal of our research is the apply protein modeling and engineering to better understand enzymes and protein complexes, and to engineer new enzymes, protein polymers, and crystallization chaperones. In particular, we are working to develop general-use crystallization chaperone strategies to streamline protein crystallization and expand the scope of proteins that can be structurally characterized. We are also developing diffraction-quality protein polymers. We are engaged in the structural enzymology of radical SAM enzymes and their complexes. We are also working on enzyme design.
