Instead of meeting in class on Wednesday …
… see you at the UHC Thesis Fair! A celebration of undergraduate research at OSU. When: Wednesday, May 20, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Where: Gallery and Rotunda of the Valley Library Protein Portraits will return to its regular schedule next week!

I’m making a last minute change to my protein, by moving from the blue variant to the green fluorescent protein. It’s not much of a change because I can’t tell the two apart with the naked eye. Anyway, the protein is rendered at 1.9 angstrom resolution, has 264 amino acids, and has an 11 stranded […]
Ferritin Info.
So basically, ferritin is composed of mostly alpha helices (4 lonand 1 short) with beta strands connecting them. Like we talked about the other day, some of the beta strands wrap around (because the helices go in the same direction twice) and are therefore longer than other beta strands. From what I can tell, ferritin […]
Protein Data for p53
The p53 protein (cellular tumor antigen) is an alpha-beta protein. It is composed of 4 alpha helices and 4 beta pleated sheets. I plan on using the following materials for the construction of my protein: faux flowers (plastic flowers), pipe cleaners, rocks, and these foam sheets that I am going to cut into beta pleated […]
Zif268
Zif268, also known as Egr1(Early Growth Response Protein 1) is a transcription factor. It can be found in the nucleus of the cell where it regulates transcription of genes required for cell differentiation and mitogenesis. Zif268 is composed of 543 amino acids with a molecular weight of 57.5 kDa. Its structure consists of three zinc […]
1st Design Review
Interferon – Gamma Properties: IFN – gamma is a 4 subunit glycoprotein that functions in the immune system as a cytokine, or signaling molecule. It weighs about 64 kDa and is in the “all alpha” domain. One of its functions is that it is secreted by Helper T cells in order to activate macrophages, which […]
Table information and medium
So the “class” for my protein is mainly alpha (this is all according to the PDB). The architecture type is considered up-down bundles. Additionally, I believe at one time I mentioned that I had gone to a craft store and found these fake twigs in the floral section that are bendable. I made some alpha […]
