  • the yeast prion [PSI]
  • macromolecular confinement and surface adsorption
  • centrosome replication and function
  • gamete development, meiosis, and fertilization
  • structure and biogenesis of the yeast cell wall
  • microtubule assembly mechanisms
  • biosynthesis of polyamines and their roles in translation and other functions
  • ADP-L-glycero-D-mannoheptose-6-epimerase structure and function
