| Description: | The group's research is focused on the structural analysis of biologically-active molecules in order to understand better their mechanism of action at the molecular level. The primary technique is mass spectrometry, which is used in conjunction with a wide variety of other analytical techniques, including chemical, enzymatic and separations strategies, principally for application in proteomic and metabolomic studies. Current projects of this group include characterizing the structures, biosynthesis and mode of action of antifungal factors involved in the bioprotection by bacteria of crop plants against attack by fungal pathogens, arsenic metabolites in food and their metabolism. |
