The MCC is a great community of teacher-scholars! If you are interested in mixing scholarship with teaching, the MCC team is a great place to learn.
The Malate Dehydrogenase CUREs Community (MCC) transformed my career (& life), & I'm truly not exaggerating! The resources, training, & support their Cohort Fellowship provided in establishing CUREs in my biochemistry lab was invaluable. I highly recommend applying!! www.mdhcures.org/mcc-cohort-a...

Exciting new work from the undergrads in the lab! You may have heard about pseudokinases, but do you know there are pseudoamylases? We describe the structure and activity of the pseudoamylase BAM9 and how it regulates alpha-amylase activity. 🧪https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/prot.26803
The Pseudoenzyme β‐Amylase9 From Arabidopsis Activates α‐Amylase3: A Possible Mechanism to Promote Stress‐Induced Starch Degradation
Starch accumulation in plants provides carbon for nighttime use, for regrowth after periods of dormancy, and for times of stress. Both ɑ- and β-amylases (AMYs and BAMs, respectively) catalyze starch ...
