OverviewAI-generated summary
Qinglei Gan's research focuses on understanding post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, particularly lysine acetylation, and developing methods for their site-specific installation. Gan has investigated these modifications in various biological systems, including Escherichia coli, humans, and maize (Zea mays). Recent work has explored the characterization of lysine acetylation in specific enzymes like malate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase, as well as methyl-coenzyme M reductase. Gan has also explored the genetic incorporation of multiple PTMs into single proteins and developed orthogonal translation systems for site-specific PTM installation. Collaborations at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville with Chenguang Fan, Nour Fatema, and Sara Ottinger, as well as with Carson W. Ercanbrack at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, have contributed to a publication record of 39 papers, with an h-index of 18 and over 1,000 citations.
