USA Projects Biocatalytic systems Crystal growth, structure determination and structure analysis in the CYP101-putidaredoxin and chorismate pathway systems. As well as determining protein structures, I am pursuing studies in crystal growth and in phasing methods for determination of difficult structures. Biomolecular lattices These studies are directed toward the goal of a molecular lattice that may be useful for various purposes, such as a bioreactor scaffold, a host lattice for diffraction analysis of attached proteins, or information processing.
Current efforts employ DNA as the construction material.
The short term goal is to gain structural data on DNA branches and small multiply-connected constructs such as knots and polyhedra. These constructs could then be used as building blocks for assembly of higher-order structures. MP Mayhew, MJ Holden, A Howard and DT Gallagher, J. Struc.
