- MS Thesis: Modeling the structure of the RtxA actin cross-linking domaino Planned and performed 20+ experiments to identify the structure of a protein. Performed protein stability assays with 80+ unique solutions. Graphed data on a Linux system with R and python. o Investigated 7 protein homologues with NCBI BLAST suite to compare against the unknown protein sequence and generated a 3D model of the ACD with SWISS-MODEL. o Experimentation included heat-shock transformations for gene uptake and inducing protein amplification with antibiotic resistant bacterial cultures. Protein preparation consisted of membrane filtration and metal chelate affinity chromatography. Molecular mass assessed with SDS-PAGE.o Identified 2 requisite cofactors with biochemical assays to assess ideal crystallography conditions.o Employed a real-time PCR thermocycler to track protein stability in 80 unique solutions of buffers and precipitants. Graphed data on a Linux system with Python and R. o Investigated 7 protein homologues with NCBI BLAST suite to model the unsolved structure of the ACD at the advice of graduate committee. Aligned DNA and protein sequences with BioEdit.o Applied SWISS-MODEL to protein sequence against 3 published homologues under different conditions. Examined residue distances and angles in the model’s binding cleft with PyMol. o Presented research in 2 poster presentations and 2 seminars. Coordinated laboratory activities among researchers and provided guidance to undergraduate projects.o Additional skills: Western Blots, ELISAs, MALDI-TOF, protein crystallization, Java, Microsoft Office.
