Dynein motor complexes are responsible for ciliary motility and when they do not assembly correctly, disorder occurs. This process is highly conserved in Drosophila melanogaster and so through the use of techniques such as mass spectrometry, I investigate how the individual components of the assembly pathway carry out their function.
