AboutAbout the lab
Studying marine enzymes, starting from their genes
Professor Akira Inoue's lab studies the genes and proteins of enzymes found in marine organisms.
Marine organisms have many enzymes that terrestrial organisms do not.
Focusing on enzymes such as those that break down polysaccharides, the lab uses methods including gene cloning, heterologous expression (making a protein in the cells of a different organism), and the creation of mutants.
Key terms
- Enzyme
- A protein that drives chemical reactions inside living organisms
- Polysaccharide
- A large molecule made of many sugars linked together. It is found in the slimy components of seaweed, plant cell walls, and more
- Mutant
- A protein or organism made by altering part of a gene, so that it differs slightly from the original. It is used to study how a function works
