Research overview 1xbet online games login

Using synthetic organic chemistry and molecular biology as major tools to study and manipulate biologically important enzymes/proteins. Currently, I have three projects in my lab.

1. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (1xbet online games login ) biosynthesis, regulation, and utilization.
   PHAs are carbon storage polymers produced by a variety of bacteria under conditions that limit nutrients except for carbon. The environmentally friendly 1xbet online games login bioplastics are considered as an ideal alternative to petroleum-derived plastics that are non-biodegradable. Our goal is to understand 1xbet online games login homeostasis at the molecular level such that metabolic- and protein-engineering in bacteria can be performed to produce 1xbet online games login polymers economically. Moreover, study of 1xbet online games login production can serve as a paradigm to understand widespread template-independent polymerizations where the mechanism remains enigmatic.
2. Bacterial enzymes involved in 1xbet online games login .
   Lignin is a recalcitrant polymer consisting of various phenylpropane-based monomers linked together by C-C and C-O-C bonds, which is the most abundant renewable carbon source on earth next to cellulose. The cost of 1xbet online games login has been a major indicator for the competitiveness of biofuels vs. petroleum-based gasoline. It is well known that fungus contains a series of redox metalloenzymes that can efficiently degrade lignin. However, until now they have not been used at industrial scales due to difficulties in modulation of fungal genetics and production of fungal proteins. Therefore, there is a paradigm shift to seek for bacterial enzymes for 1xbet online games login . Our goal is to identify and develop them into a system that can be used to process 1xbet online games login economically at large scales.
3. Protein methyltransferases in epigenetics.
   Methylation is one of commonly observed protein posttranslational modifications that play important roles in signaling network and epigenetic regulation. Defects in the methylation have been linked to various diseases including cancers, neurological disorders, and abnormalities in development. Aside from protein lysine and arginine methyltransferases, a new type of protein methyltransferases, α-N-terminal RCC1 methyltransferases (NRMTs), was recently discovered in eukaryotes and human. Limited study of NRMTs suggests that they may be linked to cancers. Our goal is to identify the processes and/or targets involving NRMT for potential cancer therapy.
