Our current work is aimed at identifying the key residues in the RNA binding and catalytic domains of RNase E, its close relative RNase G, and the exonuclease, polynucleotide phosphorylase, a model for the eukaryotic exosome.
The goal of the LSI is to generate and sustain innovative, interdisciplinary research dedicated to discovering fundamental biological processes of life, advancing our understanding of disease processes and developing potential therapeutics.
