I am a Ph.D. candidate at Tokyo University of Science. My research interests concern structure and function of new CAZymes, especially β-1,2-glucan-related enzymes responsible for enabling interactions between organisms. I contributed to the biochemical identification and/or structural determination of:

  • GH186 Escherichia coli endo β-1,2-glucanase (EcOpgD) (biochemical identification, determination of Michaelis complex and Suggestion of unique reaction mechanism) Family first [1].
  • GH186 Escherichia coli endo β-1,2-glucanase (EcOpgG) (biochemical identification and determination of Michaelis complex) [1].
  • GH186 Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris α-1,6-cyclized β-1,2-glucohexadecaose synthase (XccOpgD) (biochemical identification, determination of Michaelis complex and Suggestion of reaction mechanism) First-identified anomer-inverting transglycosylase [2].
