ArabidopsisThe Plant Chemetics group develops and applies novel chemistry tools to address fundamental research questions in plant biology. The central chemistry tool that is used is activity-based proteome profiling (ABPP), through which protein activities in proteomes are displayed using tagged small molecules (probes). The relevance of the detected enzyme activities are examined using traditional reverse genetics and targeted chemical genetics. The major biological objective is to understand how pathogens manipulate their host plants Arabidopsis and tomato causing disease, but also other plant biology processes are being investigated.
