Regulatory assemblies and molecular machines
Our aim is to study the structure and function of multi-component assemblies and better understand how they participate in fundamental cellular processes. We are exploring bacterial multi-enzyme assemblies involved in RNA turnover, processing, and non-coding RNA function. We have also been studying the structure and mechanism of multi-enzyme assemblies from central metabolism and bacterial machineries which transport proteins and small molecules across membranes.
