Project Overview
Glycoside hydrolases and glycosyltransferases play crucial roles in carbohydrate metabolism and have significant biological importance. This project aims to explore their structural and functional characteristics using bioinformatics, biochemical assays, and structural biology techniques.
The study involves analyzing enzyme sequences, predicting structures, and identifying active sites critical for function. Functional assays will help determine their substrate specificity, while structural studies will reveal molecular interactions. Insights from this research can contribute to understanding enzyme mechanisms and their biotechnological applications.
Key Objectives
