Apply flow technology utilizing immobilized enzymes to develop the ligation reaction that is integral to our new approach to synthesis.
Project responsibilities include the covalent immobilization of enzymes to resins, utilizing flow techniques to develop new methods for the ligation of fragments, and documenting scientific experiments.
Specific opportunities to learn about and to utilize scientific equipment for nucleic acid synthesis and analysis techniques will be introduced.
Techniques for immobilization, spectral determination of loading density, utilization of packed bed reactor systems for flow analysis, development of biocatalytic assays, and HPLC analysis will be applied within this project.
