Undergraduate Research Assistant
Characterization of post-translational modifying enzymes in triceptides with new genetic architecture, supervised by Assistant Professor Brandon I Morinaka. The project was centered around the characterization of bacterial-derived three-residue cyclophane forming enzymes (3-CyFEs) , facilitated by wet laboratory research and data collection involving recombinant protein expression and purification. Analysis of data involved the operation of mass spectrometry instruments in analysis of liquid chromatography, tandem chromatography, and data dependent acquisition.
