Joan Hevel

Joan Hevel is an Associate Professor in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department at Utah State University's College of Arts & Sciences. Her research focuses on biochemical mechanisms, protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs), and computational approaches to enzyme regulation and inhibition.

Research Trends: Recent publications highlight her work on PRMTs, particularly PRMT1 and PRMT7, exploring oligomerization, phosphorylation, and substrate/product specificity. Additional studies involve SARS-CoV-2 methyltransferase inhibition and enzyme engineering for drug design.
