Achievements
-
Achievements include patents pending for economical cell-free protein synthesis method using nucleoside monophosphates and glucose. Patents pending for immobilization of biocatalysts by template-directed silicate precipitation. Patents pending for methods of in vitro protein synthesis.
Patents pending for cell-free bioconversion of small molecules. Revealed how cells enforce and sustain a crucial survival priority for synthesizing new proteins even when energy supplies are limited. Activated cell-free oxidative phosphorylation to create an integrated cell- free platform for systems biology.
Enabled the development of cell-free biology for industrial applications. Research in generating and analyzing large scale experimental data sets to query biosynthetic control in yeast in the context of glucose repression, lipid metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, and the cell cycle.
