The Rayment laboratory is highly collaborative which offers terrific opportunities for students and postdocs to receive an interdisciplinary training in biophysical approaches to important problems in biology. In addition to the collaborations noted above, there are active collaborations with Jorge Escalante-Semerena (University of Georgia) to continue long term studies of enzymes involved in cobalamin biosynthesis and protein acetylation, and Doug Weibel to investigate the structural basis of action of new antibiotics.
