Research Interests
Mechanistic Enzymology. My research seeks to better understand the detailed chemical mechanisms that enzymes use. In particular I am interested in pyridoxal phosphate dependent enzymes as well as oxidoreductases.
Methods used to gain insight into these enzymes include:
1) steady state kinetics
2) pH rate profiles
3) kinetic isotope effects
4) site-directed mutagenesis
Other skills involved in these studies include:
1) overexpression of proteins
2) protein purification
3) basic molecular biology techniques
