Recent Publications:

Hay, P.C., T. Ramsaur, C. Smith, and J.A. Miernyk. 1991. Storage protein mobilization during germination and early seedling growth of Zea mays. Physiol Plant. 81:377-84.
Camp, P.J., J.A. Miernyk, and D.D. Randall, 1988. Some kinetic and regulatory properties of the pea chloroplast pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Biochem Biophys. Acta. 933:269-75.

Current Research Interests:

My research interests are in the area of plant biochemistry. In particular, my most recent investigations involved the study of corn proteases during seed germination and early seedling growth and how these enzymes coordinate with the breakdown of the seed storage protein zein. I am also interested in carbohydrate metabolism and the enzymes involved with this process.

Current Teaching Interests:

Biochemistry, Botany, Introduction to Cellular Biology, Biology of Exercise.
