Manuscripts & Folklife Archives http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/alive_pub/19 http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/alive_pub/19 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:12:52 PST Western Kentucky University senior Emily Wilcox, from Louisville, Ky., is one of a growing "activist community" here at WKU. She uses the term activist community to describe the creation and growth of student groups such as GreenToppers and Kentucky Student Environmental Coalition (KSEC), and students "loosely organizing and doing community building" outside of organizations over the past few years.Wilcox has been involved in arts and activism all her life. Now, she is a student in the WKU Honors College involved in a variety of student groups.

Suellyn Lathrop http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/120 http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/120 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:32:44 PST Mis-folded proteins and their associated aggregates are a contributing factor in some human diseases. In this study we used the protein lysozyme as a model to define aggregation structures under denaturing conditions. Sasahara et al. (2007), Frare et al. (2009, 2006), and Rubin et al. (2008) observed conditions where heat denatured lysozyme formed fibril structures that were observed to be 8-17 nanometers in diameter under the electron microscope. Even though the crystal structure of lysozyme is known, the denatured form of this protein is still unknown. Therefore, we used Rosetta++ protein folding and blind docking software to create in silico models of the protein at denaturing temperatures and subsequently docked them into aggregates. Here we compare those structures and select forms consistent with the fibril structure from the previous papers. The next step is to be able to use the predicted models of the fibrilar forms of denatured lysozyme to help us understand the exact conformation of fibril structures. This will let us confirm the docking interactions during the fibril aggregation process. The ultimate goal is to use the validated denatured structures to model interactions with heat shock proteins during the dis-aggregation process. Pongsathorn Chotikasemsri
