Funded Activity Summary

Understanding the structural basis for catalysis and substrate specificity in non-heme diiron medium-chain alkane hydroxylases. This work will determine the molecular basis for catalysis and specificity of non-heme diiron medium-chain alkane hydroxylases by obtaining the first structure of such an enzyme. This pivotal knowledge will drive enzyme engineering for applications in biodegradation of spilt oils and biosynthesis of pharmaceuticals and high-cost chemicals.
