Research:  Serine racemase converts L-serine to D-serine, which has been implicated in normal neuronal migration and synaptic transmission as well as in pathological conditions such as schizophrenia and neurodegenerative damage accompanying stroke.  My research in this system focuses on investigating the structure, function, and mechanism of the serine racemase from Mus musculus.
