  • Conducted novel research on fumarase, a highly conserved Krebs cycle enzyme and tumor suppressor
  • Purified wild-type and variant fumarases via nickel affinity chromatography
  • Used site-directed mutagenesis to insert Lys230Arg mutation associated with fumarate hydratase deficiency in the gene encoding human recombinant His6-tagged fumarase
  • Purified and characterized wild-type and variant proteins, discovering that the fumarase variant is 5900-fold slower in vitro than in vivo compared to the wild-type enzyme
