Justin A. North's research focuses on microbial biochemistry and metabolism, particularly how bacteria break down and recycle sulfur-containing and nucleoside-derived molecules (such as methionine byproducts and 5'-deoxynucleosides) to support growth. This work spans enzyme structure and function, metabolic pathway discovery, and gut and environmental microbiology, often combining experimental biochemistry with computational modeling of metabolic regulation.
