Kozak B, van Rossum H, Luttik M, Akeroyd M, Benjamin K, Wu L, et al.
mBio . 2014 Oct; 5(5):e01696-14. PMID: 25336454
The energetic (ATP) cost of biochemical pathways critically determines the maximum yield of metabolites of vital or commercial relevance. Cytosolic acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is a key precursor for biosynthesis...

McIsaac R, Gibney P, Chandran S, Benjamin K, Botstein D
Nucleic Acids Res . 2014 Jan; 42(6):e48. PMID: 24445804
A conditional gene expression system that is fast-acting, is tunable and achieves single-gene specificity was recently developed for yeast. A gene placed directly downstream of a modified GAL1 promoter containing...

Kozak B, van Rossum H, Benjamin K, Wu L, Daran J, Pronk J, et al.
Metab Eng . 2013 Nov; 21:46-59. PMID: 24269999
Cytosolic acetyl-coenzyme A is a precursor for many biotechnologically relevant compounds produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this yeast, cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthesis and growth strictly depend on expression of either the...

Thomson T, Benjamin K, Bush A, Love T, Pincus D, Resnekov O, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2011 Nov; 108(50):20265-70. PMID: 22114196
Although the proteins comprising many signaling systems are known, less is known about their numbers per cell. Existing measurements often vary by more than 10-fold. Here, we devised improved quantification...
