Burkart, Michael

Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Associate Director, California Center for Algae Biotechnology

Enzymatic megasynthases responsible for synthesizing fatty acids, polyketides, and non-ribosomal peptides. Using various chemical, biochemical, metabolomic, and proteomic techniques, we have developed methodologies to uncover protein-protein interactions that occur between domains of these enzymatic complexes.
