Kudos

awarded

Basudeb Bhattacharyya and John May, both Chemistry & Biochemistry, received an Academic Research Enhancement Award from the National Institutes of Health. This research grant, titled "Structure and Function of DcrB, an Enterobacterial Copper Resistance Protein," provides $401,680 over three years to study the structure and function of a copper resistance protein from Salmonella bacteria. This grant will fund research opportunities for undergraduates at UWL and will support access to world-class facilities for structural biology experiments at Argonne National Laboratory. John will lead this project as the principal investigator, and Basudeb will provide his expertise in structural biology as a collaborator.

published

Colton Berger, Julian Grosskopf and Gage Stuttgen, all Biochemistry; and Basudeb Bhattacharyya, John May and Todd Weaver, all Chemistry & Biochemistry; co-authored the article "Closed fumarase C active-site structures reveal SS Loop residue contribution in catalysis." in FEBS Letters published on Jan. 27 by Wiley. The article outlines high-resolution structural results from a collaborative research agreement with the Advanced Photon Source located at Argonne National Laboratory.

published

Basudeb Bhattacharyya, Daniel Grilley and Todd Weaver, all Chemistry & Biochemistry; and Walter Novak, Wabash College, Chemistry Department; co-authored the article "Proteolysis of truncated hemolysin A yields a stable dimerization interface" in "Acta Crystallographica Section F: Structural Biology Communications" published on April 5, 2017 by Wiley-IUCr (International Union of Crystallography). The research results presented within this article reinforce the structural plasticity of beta-helix proteins. Implementation of beta-helix proteins has been identified within both bacterial pathogenesis and neurodegenerative disorders. Thus, the collaborative efforts presented within this publication connect structural plasticity with protein-based pathogenicity.
