Rokita Laboratory At the Interface of Chemistry and Biology

A new paper entitled ‘Substrate Electronics Dominate the Rate of Reductive Dehalogenation Promoted by the Flavin-Dependent Iodotyrosine Deiodinase’ by former lab member Anton Kozyryev, current lab member Daniel Lemen and past rotation student Jessica Dunn has been published in Biochemistry! This paper probes the mechanism of iodotyrosine deiodinase through use of kinetic isotope effects, flavin […]

We once again have participated in the Chemistry Department’s door decorating content. Thank you to all lab members to made it happen and congratulations to all of the winners!

The newly minted doctor, Dani, has successfully defended her thesis today! We wish her the best of luck in her future career and will greatly miss her presence in our lab!
