Research Goals
The goal of our laboratory is to understand the regulatory mechanisms that control the spatial and temporal cellular distribution as well as enzymatic activity of DNA deaminases. This would involve the discovery of proteins that interact with the deaminase, structural DNA elements that influence the specificity of the reaction, as well as chemicals that can inhibit or activate their overall reactivity towards DNA.
