This summer I have done extensive data mining and management of a data set composed of over 190,000 U.S. government war … Read more

Modeling Porewater DIC Concentrations and Stable Isotope Ratios in Freshwater Lakes

by

Abstract: Pore waters extracted from lake sediments provide valuable information about environmental conditions, nutrient flow, climate history, and biogeochemical processes occurring in the sediment, as well as the overlying water column. While the chemistry of marine sediments has been studied extensively, there have been decidedly fewer studies examining early diagenesis of lake sediments, despite the … Read more

Structural Features in Mini-Fluorescence Activating Proteins affecting Chromophore Bond Rotation Times

by

Live Poster Session: Zoom LinkThursday, July 30th 1:15-2:30pm EDT Abstract: Dou et al engineered the first fluorescence-activating beta barrel that binds a small GFP derived chromophore known as DFHBI. The Smith Lab subsequently developed a more comprehensive and rational explanation for why one variant of the beta barrel structure differed from another in terms of … Read more

GCN Sensitive Protein Translation in Yeast

by

Live Poster Session: Zoom LinkThursday, July 30th 1:15-2:30pm EDT Abstract: Our research is focused on elucidating the functional significance of a ‘GCN’ 3-nucleotide periodicity observed in protein coding open reading frames (ORFs). GCN is overrepresented in the initial codons of ORFs (the ramp region), particularly in highly expressed genes. The Weir lab has observed through … Read more

Altered Electrophysiology and Calcium Dynamics in SOD1-Associated Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

by

Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the dysfunction and death of motor neurons in the spinal cord, brain stem, and motor cortex. Approximately 10% of all ALS cases are familial (fALS) and have been linked to a variety of genetic mutations. About 20% of fALS cases are linked to … Read more
