Michael Suits obtained his BScH in Biochemistry from Queen's University (Canada) and completed his PhD under the supervision of Zongchao Jia at Queen's University. In 2007 he obtained an EMBO Long-term Fellowship to work with Gideon Davies at the York Structural Biology Lab (University of York, York, UK) where his work focused on glycoside hydrolases from families GH26, GH38, GH85, and GH92, and glycosyltransferase family GT78. In 2007 he joined Alisdair Boraston at the University of Victoria (Canada) and was awarded a Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Fellowship in 2008 to continue work on microbial CAZymes. He is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Wilfrid Laurier University (Canada) where his work uses X-ray crystallography and various biophysical tools to characterize carbohydrate metabolizing factors.
Michael and colleagues have characterized the X-ray crystal structures of:
- CBM32-4, CBM32-5, CBM32-6 Clostridium perfringens appended to exo-α-D-N-acetylglucosaminidase (GH89) [1]
- GH26 Cellvibrio japonicus GH26 mannanase [2]
- GH38 Streptococcus pyogenes α-mannosidase [3]
- GH85 Arthrobacter protophormiae endo-beta-D-N-acetylglucosaminidases (EndoA) [4]
- GH92 Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron α-mannosidase [5]
- GH-Non-Classified Streptococcus pyogenes plasmin and fibronectin binding protein A (PfbA) [6]
- GT78 Rhodothermus marinus mannosylglycerate synthase [7]
