Protein Engineering
Research Summary
My current research is centered on protein engineering cytochrome P450s for the production of intermediates to artemisinin. I focus on engineering P450s that are well characterized in terms of both their expression and structure. Thus, when used in a metabolic pathway, greater efforts can be placed on engineering novel reactions rather than attempting to increase expression levels.
