    Research interests

    My research interests include structure-function studies of proteins (enzymes): How does the atomic structure affect an enzyme's activity, specificity and efficiency. Enzymes which originates from cold adapted organisms often have unique properties. These we want to find use for in biochemical and biotechnological industries.
