Research Interest
Major areas of resea rch in my lab relate to the field of enzymology and nanobiotechnology. So far, we have explored the use of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles to enhance activity and stability of enzymes such as nitrate reductase, peroxidase, catalase, polyamine oxidase, diamine oxidase and oxalate oxidase. We are also studying the impact of nanoparticles on crop plants such as Cicer arientinum and Sorghum vulgare
