# GENETIC APPROACHES TO REGULATION OF LIPID METABOLISM

> **NIH NIH R01** · UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN · 1993 · $260,343

## Abstract

This project is concerned with the molecular mechanisms that
regulate membrane lipid synthesis and degradation in bacteria.  The
general approach is to use the approaches of chemistry,
biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology to understand the
mechanisms of lipid metabolism and how these mechanisms are
regulated.  The mechanisms of fatty acid metabolism are highly
conserved throughout biology and hence these studies may provide
insight into the etiology of defective cellular membranes observed
in many diseases.
