<p> Trying to study the overexpression of some enzymes involved in palm oil synthesis, as predicted by our “system” level model isn’t easy, particularly when they are involved in cyclic reactions like FabA. Our strategy was to simply add a His-tag to the N- and C-terminus of FabA, but to make it even more complex FabA is a homodimer. Therefore, we did another model but this time of the molecular dynamics kind to see which terminal, if any, would be best to add the His-tags to. </p> | <p> Trying to study the overexpression of some enzymes involved in palm oil synthesis, as predicted by our “system” level model isn’t easy, particularly when they are involved in cyclic reactions like FabA.

Revision as of 22:06, 2 October 2013
As part of our Human Practices investigations, we created a series of in depth population dynamics models to show the impact that the palm oil industry has on the population of the Sumatran Orangutan. We were then able to project this into the future to demonstrate a series of likely scenarios. Sadly, things are looking pretty bleak for the Orangutan - however, it appears there could be a way to save them...
