Bioengineering Extremophile Enzymes To Develop A Rapid Diagnostic Test For Warfighters
Abstract
The main objective is to research the thermostability properties of a thermophilic glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), isolate a new RNA polymerase from a psychrophile and understand its low temperature stability and efficiency. Sub-objectives include:a) Determine optimal temperature and pH of both enzymes for ideal catalytic activity,b) Understand the thermal stability of thermophilic and psychrophilic enzymes.
