Biography
Rosetta N Reusch completed her Ph.d in columbia University and Professer at Michigan State University, East Lansing, United States.
Another area of our research is the identification of proteins involved in PHB metabolism, and the genes that encode them. We are engaged in a collaborative effort, using standard biochemistry and molecular biology methods
Research Interest
interested in the metabolism and functions of poly-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and its interactions with other cellular macromolecules. This dynamic and versatile polymer has remarkable solvent properties which enable it to "dissolve" salts of polyanions, such as polynucleotides and inorganic polyphosphates, and transfer them into and through membranes. One of our present studies is of complexes of PHB with inorganic polyphosphate.
