Research interests and major achievements

Our research interests concern the Enzymology and Enzyme engineering and aim to excavate and modify the enzyme molecular, highly express enzyme proteins, regulate microbial metabolism and synthesis high-value natural products. Analyze the expression mechanism of heterologous proteins in Pichia pastoris through transcriptomics and proteomics techniques based on high throughput sequencing. The enzyme proteins were efficiently expressed by expression elements optimization (promoter, secretory signal peptide, untranslated region) and secretory pathways rational regulation (translation, Folding, transport) and used in sweetener modification, aromatic ester synthesis and other fields.
