UNCOMMON ENZYMES

UNEXPECTED PATHWAYS

OUR LAB STUDIES

tRNA, the essential adapter molecules that translate the genetic blueprint in every organism into the cell’s functional machines.
The enzymes that we study catalyze unusual reactions and participate in unexpected biological processes, and therefore their mechanisms and roles in biology are waiting to be discovered. We use enzyme kinetics, yeast genetics and RNA biochemistry to understand these amazing enzymes and their functions in living cells.
