Biochemistry scientists at Utah State University investigate the core architectures and operations of various biological systems. Current studies focus on unraveling the workings of multiple enzymes and metalloenzymes participating in nitrogen processing, hydrocarbon breakdown, post-translational changes like phosphorylation and methylation, and the formation of complex enzyme structures. The department's work influences numerous areas, from global energy and elemental cycles to environmental cleanup and human health conditions. These research initiatives regularly receive support from federal organizations including the NSF, NIH, and DOE.
