Current project:

My research is in the area of protein crystallography of toxin complexes with target proteins such as elongation factors and as cocrystals with inhibitors bound in the enzyme active site. Recently, we solved four different structures of the Pseudomonas toxin in complex with yeast eEF2 (Nature, in press), which provides exciting new insight into the enzyme mechanism of this important class of toxins.
