This system yielded 24 g/L of isobutanol, close to titers reported in microbes. However, the limiting factor of the system was identified as enzyme instability in high isobutanol, and the authors were able to determine precisely which enzymes were the … Continue reading →

Feeding different fatty acids to our engineered strains yielded cannabinoid analogues with modifications in the part of the molecule known to alter receptor binding affinity and potency. We also demonstrated that our biological system can be complemented by simple synthetic … Continue reading →

My study focuses on a group that consists of members that are primarily in their late 20’s and early thirties. I did not see the same types of deviant behaviors that were seen in many of the other studies discussed … Continue reading →
