Lab Website Lab website Project Title Structure and function of enzymes Biography Virtually every living process, whether it is programmed cell death, mitosis, HIV infection, or embryonic development involves proteins. Indeed, the term protein is derived from the Greek word proteois, which means “first.” My laboratory has had a long-standing interest in protein structure and …
Structural mechanisms of genome maintenance
Structural and biochemical exploration of RNA virus entry and replication
Lab Website Lab website Project Title Molecular basis of protein function Biography The common theme to all research in the Rayment laboratory is understanding how proteins function at the molecular level, which typically starts with the determination of a three-dimensional structure by X-ray crystallography. This interest is driven by the simple fact that although proteins …
