Enzymology of Complex Alpha-Glucans

Beschreibung

Glycogen and Starch: So Similar, yet so Different. Both carbohydrates are central to the primary metabolism of a large part of the living kingdom. Generally, animals, fungi, bacteria store glycogen, while plants largely rely on starch.

Autor

Felix Nitschke received his Ph.D. from the University of Potsdam, Germany (2013), under Dr. Martin Steup, an accomplished expert in starch metabolism. Early on Dr. Nitschke's work focused on particular glycogen storage diseases where pathological insoluble "starch-like" glycogen particles are accumulating, and for instance, drive the progressive childhood-onset epilepsy Lafora disease. After a post-doc under Dr. Berge Minassian at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada, Dr. Nitschke was recruited as Assistant Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
