The experimental strategies of chemistry and biology are combined to answer significant questions on the nature of life processes. Investigations are designed to identify the molecular foundations of structure and reactivity that control biological processes. Examples of current topics pursued at Johns Hopkins include mechanisms of nucleic damage and repair, antibiotic biosynthesis, drug development, signaling pathways, catalysis, and enzyme engineering.
Groups: Fried, Greenberg, Huang, Rokita, Toscano, Townsend
Group Highlights
-
Huang and Xiao Lab published in Nature Biotechnology
Engineering proteins with tailored functions is a central challenge in modern biology, often requiring multiple rounds of screening and selection. To address this challenge, the groups of Prof. Xiongyi Huang […]
