DESCRIPTION:Fenfei Leng\, Ph.D.\, studies how transcription affects DNA str
 uctural changes and activates or inhibits nearby promoters. Using defined 
 protein systems and in vivo E. coli cells\, the Leng laboratory has found 
 that transcription is a major force driving chromosome remodeling in expon
 entially growing bacteria. The lab has also shown that certain DNA-binding
  proteins\, including FIS and HU\, function as topological barriers that m
 odulate localized DNA supercoiling generated by transcription. Building on
  these discoveries\, the laboratory uses both in vitro and in vivo systems
  to identify and develop antibiotics that target bacterial DNA gyrase.\n\n
