Joseph A. Krzycki's research focuses on the biochemistry and genetics of archaea (a group of single-celled microorganisms), particularly how these organisms build proteins using unusual amino acids and process specialized metabolic compounds. Recent work centers on pyrrolysine and selenocysteine, two rare amino acids with specialized roles in microbial metabolism, and how organisms encode and use them.
