Significant areas of research
The research by Eric T. Kool is in synthetic biology with applications in biotechnology and medicine, such as the development of synthetic pharmaceuticals. His work has included studies that focus upon bases in DNA and RNA other than A, C, G, T, and U. For example, xDNA. These new bases do not utilize the standard Watson-Crick bonds (and if extended, do not use Hoogstein bonds. By increasing the alphabet of bases possible in DNA and RNA, it may be possible to increase the possible genetic code with new synthetic codons which can also code for new amino acids to create a library of synthetic proteins, thus impacting proteomics.
