U.S.-Sweden Cooperative Research: Glyceraldehyde-3 Dehydro-genase Interactions: Phase Partitioning

这个为期两年的奖项支持伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的路易斯·e·安德森和瑞典隆德大学的格特·约翰逊的合作研究。本研究的目的是探讨植物叶绿体中酶之间的相互作用，并研究调节剂对酶分配的影响。这些实验将有助于我们了解光合作用过程中的二氧化碳固定和酶-酶相互作用。这些酶-酶相互作用的破坏对于分析盐、干旱、洪水和污染物对植物光合作用的应激效应可能是重要的。安德森博士和约翰逊博士将共同进行实验并分析数据。该项目将受益于他们的互补优势，特别是安德森博士在酶-酶相互作用和代谢方面的广泛背景，以及约翰逊博士在相分配方面的专业知识。

This two-year award supports collaborative research between Louise E. Anderson, University of Illinois at Chicago, and Gote Johansson from the University of Lund in Sweden. The objectives of this study are to explore the interactions between plant enzymes in chloroplasts using phase partitioning and to examine the effects of modulators on enzyme partitioning. These experiments will contribute to our understanding of carbon dioxide fixation during photosynthesis and of enzyme-enzyme interactions. Disruption of these enzyme-enzyme interactions could be important in analyzing the stressful effects of salt, drought, flooding, and pollutants on plant photosynthesis. Dr. Anderson and Dr. Johansson will jointly conduct experiments and analyze the data. This project will benefit from their complementary strengths, specifically, Dr. Anderson's extensive background on enzyme- enzyme interactions and metabolism, and Dr. Johansson's expertise in phase partitioning.
