Sugary coats: Diverse mechanisms of complex carbohydrate secretion
Stanford bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar
JOCHEN ZIMMER, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
The Zimmer lab focuses on complex carbohydrates and how they are synthesized and deposited on the cell surface. Using the tools of structural and molecular biology, they study capsule and biofilm formation in bacteria, cell wall biosynthesis in plants, and extracellular matrix formation in vertebrates.
