position is available to contribute to a protein engineering project by redesigning
thermophilic carbon-fixing enzymes.  </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The project
utilizes structural techniques (crystallography and single-particle cryoEM),
biochemical techniques (protein expression and purification, enzyme assays,
mutagenesis) and computational studies (phylogenetics and Molecular Dynamics)
to identify mutations that reduce the temperature of activity of the enzymes.  </span></p>

working with enzymes required including cloning in E coli, expression,
purification, and enzyme assays. Structural biology experience required in
crystallography or single particle cryoEM.
