Research Interests by Craig D. Thulin.
|
My primary area of interest is protein chemistry. Sequencing of entire genomes has brought protein science to the forefront of biochemistry in the form of proteomics (studies of the protein complement of a cell, tissue, or organism). We have recently received a NIH Shared Instrument Grant to fund the formation of the BYU Proteomics and Biological Mass Spectrometry Facility. In addition to serving as a resource facility for the biochemists here at BYU and with collaborators at the nearby University of Utah, this facility will form a basis for my own independent research and for training students in the techniques of proteomic analysis. Mass spectrometry is a critical tool in proteomic studies because it enables the identification of proteins from one- or two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. My research will focus on the protein chemistry and proteomics of degenerative disease. I am also interested in the characterization of posttranslational modifications of proteins including phosphorylation and oxidative damage.
