Stephen Wood and Dr. Brian Mazzeo, Electrical and Computer Engineering The interaction of proteins with other molecules is a common phenomenon that is relevant to various disciplines such as medicine and material science. There are several aspects regarding these molecular interactions that can be researched with one of several measurement techniques. Dielectric spectroscopy is an […]

PAS Kinase Interactions
Serena Loeb and Dr. Julianne Grose, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Prevalence of metabolic disease, primarily diabetes, is increasing at a steady rate. This trend has created a need for new treatment options. Researchers discovered that the protein PAS (Per-Arnt-Sim) kinase is involved in mammalian metabolic regulation; showing PAS kinase deficient mice exhibited decreased weight gain, […]
Discovering Protein Interactions of hR120GCryAB
Kent Jarvis and Dr. Julianne Grose, Department of Micro and Molecular Biology Goal Achievement: The original goal of my project was to find substrates of hR120GCryAB using a yeast two-hybrid model. Over the past few months I was able to achieve this goal. I was able to find over 11 novel substrates that bind with […]
Measles Virus And Its Interactions With Follicular Dendritic Cells
Michael J. Lloyd and Dr. Gregory F. Burton, Microbiology Measles virus continues to be a major cause of death in most third-world countries and a considerable threat to the health of every country. Infection with measles is thought to be associated with the fatal, late-infection disease subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) (3). It is thought that […]
ELK-WILLOW INTERACTIONS IN YELLOWSTONE’S NORTHERN RANGE
Stuart C. Wooley and Dr. Rex G. Cates, Botany & Range Science In the last century an alarming decrease in willow (Salix spp.) populations and stature has occurred in the northern range in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) (Singer et al. 1994). The reasons for these declines have been heavily debated, and no consensus has been […]
Investigate and Study of the Properties of 2,2-dipicolyamine and it interactions with Anions
Martin Conda Sheridan and Dr. John Lamb, Chemistry and Biochemistry Department Compared to cation ligand interactions, anion ligand studies are less well known. We studied the interactions of protonated cavitands, Fig 1, with anions because of their many applications, including: environmental waste remediation, anion separation, binding constant determination, and molecular structure recognition. The main focus […]
Stereo-selective Photochemical [2+2] Cycloaddition: π-π Interactions or Radical Stabilization
Alexander Parent and Dr. Steven Fleming, Chemistry and Biochemistry Organic chemistry centers around the stereo- and regioselective formation of C–C bonds. Although [4+2] and [2+2] cycloadditions present the opportunity for single-step creation of multiple stereocenters and two C–C bonds, the products resulting from intermolecular cycloadditions can be hard to predict and yields of any single […]
Quantifying the Relationship between Platelet Activity and Blood-Materials Interactions
Kenneth Solen, Chemical Engineering In clinical practice, variations among patients in the degree of blood-material interaction are evidenced in the fact that physicians have long sought for ways to provide patient-specific treatment1. No clinical screening yet exists to test the level of interaction expected from a given patient. My research attempted to test the hypothesis […]
DETERMINATION OF ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 2 RECEPTOR PROTEIN INTERACTIONS USING THE YEAST-TWO HYBRID SYSTEM
Emily Janeen Westover and Dr. Terry S. Elton, Chemistry and Biochemistry The renin-angiotensin system plays a central role in water and salt homeostasis, electrolyte balance, and vascular tone maintenance. 1 Each component of this system is a potential effector in the etiology of hypertension. Angiotensin II (Ang II), a component of the reninangiotensin system, interacts […]
Phosphorus, Zinc, and Manganese Interactions in Hydroponically Grown Maize
Brandt Nichols and Dr. Von D. Jolley, Plant and Wildlife Maize (Zea maize L.) roots prolifically explore soil and this requires less intensive phosphorus (P) fertilization than less efficient species, such as potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Crops are not grown in isolation and species requiring high P are often grown in rotation with low P […]
