报告人简介：

Mechanism of enzyme action; structure-function studies of enzymes; incorporation of nickel in bacterial urease; biodegradation of sulfonate compounds; DNA repair; microbial physiology

Prof. Hausinger’s laboratory explores specific aspects of microbial physiology and enzymology related to transition metals. For example, they study mechanisms of catalysis by metalloenzymes and characterize the pathways for biosynthesis of protein metallocenters. they use an array of experimental techniques and approaches that ranges from gene cloning to enzyme kinetics, from site-directed mutagenesis to metal ion binding assays, and from active site peptide studies to biophysical spectroscopic methods.
