Research focuses on enzymes regulating circadian rhythms (casein kinase 1δ/ε, nocturnin) and natural product biosynthesis (flavin-dependent halogenases). Recent work includes kinetic studies of BorF/AbeF flavin reductases and structural analysis of tryptophan halogenases.
Selected publications (2019-2021) reveal mechanistic insights into flavin-dependent halogenation, circadian rhythm regulation, and kinetochore protein assembly. Research outputs include structural characterizations of key enzymes and investigations into their catalytic mechanisms.
