Understanding enzymatic mechanism and allostery using macromolecular rate theory
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Intricate systems of regulation at many levels act to control enzyme rates to tune metabolism across biosynthetic pathways. Allostery is a ubiquitous regulatory mechanism for feedback and regulation of enzymes in biosynthetic ... -
Verifying clustered mutation regions inside the newly-completed genome of a clinically-significant New Zealand Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain
(The University of Waikato, 2021)In 2019, active infections of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) affected 10 million people globally, with 1.4 million deaths, and an additional 1.7-1.9 billion people infected without symptomatic disease (latent Mtb). While ... -
Measuring the temperature response of soil respiration from two distinct carbon pools in soil.
(The University of Waikato, 2020)As soils contain a large store of terrestrial carbon, understanding the dynamics and stability of this important carbon reserve and how it may change with regards to future changes in temperature is of global interest. It ... -
Finding the good vibes of life, man: Identifying catalytic vibrations in enzyme catalysis
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Enzyme catalysis is one of the most vital components of life. As such the elucidation of the exact mechanics of this kind of catalysis is important. The aim of this work is to look into enzyme catalysis though the lens of ... -
Understanding allosteric enzyme regulation using macromolecular rate theory
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Enzyme catalysed reaction rates produce a curved temperature dependence with a temperature optimum, Topt. Traditionally enzyme temperature dependence has been modelled by the Arrhenius and Eyring-Polanyi equations. Deviations ...
