OverviewAI-generated summary
Josh Sakon's research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes, particularly in protein structure and function. He has received federal funding from the NIH/National Institute of General Medical Sciences for his work on "Understanding Mechanisms of Antibiotic Inhibition of Ribosomal Subunit Joining," a project for which he serves as Principal Investigator, totaling $403,423. His scholarly output includes investigations into the structures of various enzymes, such as endo/exocellulase E4 and thermostable family 5 endocellulase E1, and their roles in cellulose hydrolysis. Sakon has also studied collagen-binding domains and the thermostability of proteins like staphylococcal nuclease. His recent work includes optimizing the production of cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibers from pine kraft pulp. He leads a research group and has established collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and within the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Rabindra Basnet, Dinesh Upreti, Md Rafique Un Nabi, and Gokul Acharya, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
