Special Research Project PowerPoint Presentations

Spring 2010

Effect of pH on disulfide bond reduction and enzyme activity

Effect of TCEP and temperature on circular dichroism spectrum (am class)

Effect of TCEP and temperature on circular dichroism spectrum (pm class)

Effect of reducing agents on thermal changes in Trp fluorescence in AP (am class)

Effect of reducing agents on thermal changes in Trp fluorescence in AP (pm class)

(These two groups also included temperature effects on free Trp fluorescence as well).

Two other groups performed limited proteolysis studies on the enzyme but did not complete until after the oral presentations were made.

Fall 2010

Analysis of Activity loss with AP purification

ANS and AP fluorescence

Fluorescence of free Trp and Tyr and Fast Red Dye Assay

Kinetic studies of temperature dependent loss of Trp Fluorescence of AP

CD temperature dependence rate of AP unfolding

CD 220 nm temperature dependence kinetics of AP

Effect of chelating agents on AP activity

Effect of EDTA on AP activity

Effects of high NaCl and MgCl2 on AP activity

Effects of pH on AP reduction by TCEP, DTT, and BME

Concentration dependency of TCEP inactivation of AP

Limited proteolysis of AP using TCEP and DTT

Spring 2011

CD spectral changes occurring upon thermal denaturation of AP: effects of SO4 vs. Cl-

ANS binding to AP during thermal denaturation

Effects of Salts and Chaperone-like proteins on thermal stability of AP

Fall 2011

Effects of Cationic Salts on AP Thermal Stability

EDTA and DTPA Chelation effects on AP (exp1)

Fluorescence changes using GdmHCl_am

Fluorescence changes using GdmHCL_pm

Limited Proteolysis_pm

Limited Proteolysis_am

Removal and Reintroduction of Zn and Mg

Tempdep of Ki and Km_am

Tempdep of Ki and Km_pm

Urea and GdmHCl effects seen in CD

urea_denaturation(exp 2) : these two are really only good for concentration and procedures, we saw no denaturation using fluorescence in either experiment, agreeing with the CD expt given above.
