Researched enzyme kinetics of DHP protein at different pH using UV/Vis spectrometer to learn effect pH has on reaction rates and product formation. Utilized DHP’s unique enzyme properties of reacting with toxins to solve human induced environmental problems.Performed routine testing of protein with various chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. Set up UV/Vis spectrometer, recorded information, prepared samples, and created buffer solutions at different pH levels in cuvette to determine reactions. Oxidized protein to plus 3 state. Recorded and documented data and information to analyze results, interpret methodology, and understand and solve complex theoretical problems. Cleaned tools and instruments. Quickly and accurately completed assays. Supported regulatory and safe laboratory practices.- Analyzed protein from marine worms to see if pH affected how quickly enzyme worked to get rid of toxin. Discovered enzyme’s heme auto-reduces if left alone for extended periods of time.- Partnered with lab that specialized in high resolution x-ray crystallography to better understand protein molecules. Mutated amino acids in protein to better understand chemistry of protein. - Helped graduate students make more DHP using bacterium plasmids. Assisted graduate student with Raman spectroscopy of DHP to gain insight on how water binds to heme in DHP. - Analyzed and collected data weekly using Excel and synthesized into graphs for easy interpretation. Solved problems with matching data to physical phenomena of protein. Commended for clean data with low error rate.- Held meetings and brainstormed unknowns and devised solutions for clearer understanding of research. Designed further experiments with graduate program students.
