Dr Gillian Norris
Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry
Institute of Molecular BioSciences,
Massey University, Private Bag 11222
Palmerston North,New Zealand
Research Interests: A common
post-translational modification on many
proteins is glycosylation where covalently linked
sugar chains play an important role in both the
function and structure of the protein. I am
interested in how they do this and whether, as
recent evidence suggests, their in vivo removal
has any biological significance.
