Biochemistry scientists at Utah State University investigate the core structures and operations of various biological systems. Current studies focus on uncovering 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 assemblies. The department's work influences numerous areas including global energy and element cycling, environmental cleanup, and human health conditions. These research initiatives regularly receive support from federal organizations like the NSF, NIH, and DOE.
