This summer has been exciting and productive! We are collaborating with our friends from the Math Department, Dr. Kristin Kuter and Maria Escobedo, who are helping us to build and fit mathematical models to explain our data. We took advantage of the University of Notre Dame's Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium to share our research.
Here is our January 2018 Newsletter!
Our group made a second trip in 2017 to Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) to collect X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data and characterize the structures of a few human proteins' metal binding sites. Four undergraduate students (Morgan, Erica, and Kate), one graduate visiting scholar (Ewelina), Dr. Haas and baby Ariana made the trip to … Continue reading Winter break at SSRL!
Congratulations to Madison on her first paper, and to the rest of our terrific research team!! Madison Sendzik lead our group's efforts in the discovery and characterization of human serum albumin's Cu(I) binding site! Her important discovery is published in the American Chemical Society Journal, Inorganic Chemistry (10.1021/acs.inorgchem. 7b02397). Madison also wrote a free educational article … Continue reading Discovery of Cu(I) binding to HSA!
