Molecular Characterization of Penstemon scariosus (Plantaginaceae)
Mikel R. Stevens The objectives of this project: Our objective was “to develop an understanding of the genetic structure of the varieties within P. scariosus. With a specific intent to test the hypothesis that P. scariosus var. albifluvis is distinct within P. scariosus” while mentoring no less than four undergraduate students. We have meet and […]
An Efficient Method for Generating Conditional Cell Lines for Cellular and Molecular Research
Mark Roth and Dr. Jonathan Alder, Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology Conditional cell lines are widely used throughout biochemical research. The basic concept is that you can delete a gene you are studying upon the addition of a drug, to cells in culture, and then use the knockout cells to study the genes effects. […]
Molecular Phylogenetics of Basal Insect Groups: A Team Mentored Experience
Michael F Whiting, Biology Funding was received from the BYU ORCA mentorship program during 2012-2013 to support undergraduates performing research in my lab on insect evolution, under the mentorship of postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and myself. During 2013- 2014, this funding provided direct support for 6 undergraduates who are in various stages of completing research […]
Molecular-Level Interactions Responsible for Retention in Liquid Chromatography
Jessica Jenkins and James Patterson, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction In many fields of work, such as medicine or pharmaceutical research, it is necessary to separate chemically similar compounds. Liquid chromatography, which involves a mixture of compounds (analyte) dissolved in a mobile phase flowing through a packed column (stationary phase), is the most widely […]
Supramolecular Chemistry for Undergraduate Students
David V Dearden, Roger G Harrison, John D Lamb, Chemistry and Biochemistry Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met The goal of this proposal was to train graduate and undergraduate students through research experiences in supramolecular chemistry in a multi-group environment. Academically, our objective was to synthesize and characterize new […]
Structure of the PhLP1-Gβ-CCT Complex Reveals a Molecular Mechanism for Gprotein β Subunit Folding and βγ Dimer Assembly
Devon Blake and Dr. Barry Willardson, Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction and Project Importance Cells detect and respond to a myriad of extracellular signals via seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors and their associated G protein signaling pathways. The pathway is initiated by the binding of a signaling molecule, such as a hormone or neurotransmitter, to its binding […]
Quantitation of Molecular Interactions Based on the Avidin-Biotin Complex by Dielectric Spectroscopy
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 […]
Molecular Diversity Compared to Associated Morphological Differences Between Two Species of Southern Chilean Crabs
Andres Mallipudi with Erwin Barria, Carlos G. Jara, and Keith A. Crandall Abstract The biologically diverse region of Patagonia is under constant threat of urban development from both external and internal sources. Gaining a thorough understanding of the ecological roles of this area’s organisms is essential to preserving Patagonia’s rich biodiversity. Researching the differences between […]
Molecular Characterization of Pathways involved in PAS Kinase Regulation and Function
Julianne H. Grose Evaluation of academic objectives The academic objectives of this MEG were to provide novel findings in the field of metabolic regulation while training both graduate and undergraduate students. We were able to meet these objectives as evidenced by one published scientific article, one article accepted upon minor revision, and one in preparation. […]
