Research

Research Interest 1

Molecular mechanisms controlling the expression and functional
activity of enzymes and other regulatory proteins. These include
both short-term processes (e.g. reversible phosphorylation) and
longer-term alterations in expression (e.g. transcriptional control).
The role of hormones and novel nucleotide effectors (e.g. Ap4A)
in stimulating changes in intermediary metabolism. Covalent
modification of proteins with lipid groups (e.g. fatty acylation
and isoprenylation).
