My name is Tom Sweitzer, and I am currently a fourth year graduate student in the laboratory of Dr. Claudia Kent in the Biochemistry Department at Purdue University in Indiana. The research in our laboratory is focussed on understanding the regulation of mammalian lipid metabolism. My work specifically entails sequencing the rate-limiting enzyme of the pathway for phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. I hope to use the protein sequence data to clone a cDNA for the enzyme f rom a rat liver library. For some references, see the Journal of Biological Chemistry, volume 260, pp 7919-7926 (1985). Sincerely, Tom Sweitzer -------
