This project aims to elucidate the biosynthesis of ladderanes, unique hydrocarbons found in certain bacteria. By combining various biological techniques, it seeks to uncover the enzymes and mechanisms involved in their complex production.
Ladderanes are highly unusual hydrocarbon moieties with linearly concatenated cyclobutane rings.
They are found in the membranes of bacteria performing anaerobic ammonium oxidation (“anammox”).
How these complicated molecules are produced is expected to involve both novel enzymes and specially evolved versions of known proteins, but the details remain enigmatic.
How do these enzymes assemble such intricate carbon skeletons?
How do they control the complex stereochemistry involved?
How do they d…
