SEMINAR: Research in Progress

1131 Bioinformatics 130 Mason Farm Road, Chapel Hill, NC, United States

 Nidhi Gera, PhD Research Assistant Professor Parise Lab Exploiting platelet lipid metabolism to prevent thrombosis Human platelets are essential mediators of both hemostasis and thrombosis. A comprehensive knowledge of the platelet proteome is necessary for understanding thrombotic mechanisms and discovering new antiplatelet therapies. Using a chemoproteomics approach, we identified a novel lipid deacetylase in platelets, arylacetamidedeacetylase-like … Read more

SEMINAR: David Giedroc, PhD (Indiana Univ.)

Pagano Conference Room, LCCC

Seminar title: “Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Transition Metal Homeostasis.” First-row late d-block metals from Mn to Zn play distinct roles in cellular metabolism.  In bacterial pathogens, metalloregulation of transcription underscores physiological adaptation to host-mediated transition metal starvation and toxicity, required to maintain metal homeostasis. In zinc (Zn) homeostasis, for example, a pair of metal-sensing transcriptional … Read more

Structural Biology Discussion Group seminar: Brian Kuhlman PhD (UNC)

UNC GMB 4007 120 Mason Farm Road, Chapel Hill, NC, United States

Protein design using Rosetta and SEWING.  SEWING – Structure Extension WIth Native-fragment Graphs – takes sub-structure segments of experimentally determined structures and uses them to design proteins with new functions.  By using sub-structures designed through the evolutionary process, SEWING takes advantage of the work that nature has already done to create sequences with specific functionalities … Read more
