Carlsberg Laboratory

• Scientist

  • Feb 2010 - Aug 2013

  Copenhagen Area, Denmark The purpose of the research was to investigate the role of the different gene classes and isoforms of starch synthases in starch biosynthesis. The long-term goal is to improve the quality and fermentive yield of starch in barley malt. The experimental work included: - Molecular cloning using codon-optimized genes for E. coli expression - Protein purification using Äkta FPLC - Protein crystallography - Enzyme kinetics using UV-vis spectroscopy, capillary electrophoresis… Show more The purpose of the research was to investigate the role of the different gene classes and isoforms of starch synthases in starch biosynthesis.

  Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom The purpose of the research was to perform structure-function studies of retaining and inverting mannosyl transferases. In particular mannosylglycerate synthase from Rhodothermus marinus was used as a model system to study catalytic mechanisms of glycosyl transfer. The experimental work included: - Molecular cloning, PCR, and site-directed mutagenesis - E. coli expression and purification using Bio-rad FPLC - Enzyme kinetics using UV-vis spectroscopy and RP-HPLC - Isothermal… Show more The purpose of the research was to perform structure-function studies of retaining and inverting mannosyl transferases.
