Dr. Kim's group studies how RNase E performs mRNA degradation in bacteria with two different assays. First, they use single-particle tracking to measure the subcellular localization of RNase E as well as their diffusion dynamics. Second, they measure co-and post-transcriptional mRNA degradation rates to understand how mRNA degradation is spatiotemporally regulated.
