Research Synopsis:

My laboratory uses the tools ofÌý²ú¾±´Ç³¦³ó±ð³¾¾±²õ³Ù°ù²âÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýX-ray crystallographyÌýto study the structure and function of enzymes and other interesting proteins.ÌýMy group'sÌýtwo areas of focus are enzymes involved in regulation of circadian rhythmsÌý(casein kinase 1ÌýδÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýεÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýnocturnin), and enzymes involved in natural product biosynthesis (currentlyÌýflavin-dependent monooxygenasesÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýtryptophan halogenasesÌýinvolved inÌýindolotryptoline biosynthesis).
