March 2020

• Emily's manuscript Screening for serotonin receptor 4 agonist using GPCR-based sensors in yeast is accepted in Methods in Molecular Biology: G-Protein Coupled Receptor Screening Assays.

February 2020

• Nick's Viewpoint Advancing the potential for the production of chemicals from carbon dioxide in Escherichia coli is published in Biochemistry.

The Peralta-Yahya group programs biological systems for the synthesis of fuels, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. We also program G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)-based sensors for the detection of chemicals with applications from metabolic engineering to the elucidation of novel drugs

To do this we use principles, concepts and techniques from organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and  engineering.

We are part of the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
