Literature Presentations: Select current (2010 - 2017) quadruplex related crystallography paper. Presentations length is 15-20 min with 10 min for questions. The presenters are free to highlight only the most relevant or exciting parts of the selected paper (and not the entire paper). The presenter should e-mail the pdf version of the selected paper to each member of the group by Tuesday at noon. Every member of the lab should read the paper, focusing on Result section and figures. Feel free to ask me for paper suggestions.
Research Data: About 30 min of our group meeting will be focused on discussing research findings. Each student needs to prepare short informal presentation (5 min maximum) containing all results from the week as well as one slide with the tentative research plan for the coming week.
Research paper: first draft is due at the end of week nine, July 28 at 5 pm
Final draft is due on Friday August 4th at 5 pm
ACS meeting is on August 20-24 2017 in Washington DC. Deondre and Barrett give talks, Linda and Allan give posters

Summer 2015
Liliya, Delfin and Thomas are in France in Jean-Louis Mergny's lab. Liliya is pursuing crystallization of telomeric and oncogene promoter DNA alone and in complex with NMM. Thomas is working on multiple projects including interaction of PtTMPyP4 with human telomeric DNA and kinetics of Tel22 isomerization in the presence of NMM (using fluorescence). Delfin is measuring binding constants between NMM and a variety of oncogene promoter sequences using UV-vis and fluorescence titrations. We hold our group meetings on Fridays at 10 am. Jessica is working in working in the laboratory of Dr. Eric Brown on non-canonical DNA structures that lead to collapse of replication forks in mouse.

*note, there will not be presentation of research data (the most exciting result) on this day
Research presentation: summarizes all research conducted over the summer. Format: 20-25 min plus 5 min for questions. Power point presentation should include background, research design, discussion, and conclusion. Make sure to practice before presenting.
Literature Presentations: Students select current quadruplex and porphyrin related paper of interest to all lab members. Presentations length is 12 min + 3min for questions. Feel free to highlight only the most relevant or exciting parts of your selected paper. Students should put the pdf version of the selected paper on Research folder on Wednesday noon before the group meeting. Everybody in the group is responsible for reading one paper in addition to their own. Feel free to ask me for paper suggestions.
Research Data: Another 30 min of our group meeting will be devoted to discussion of the lab research. Each student needs to prepare two slides - one with the most exciting result of the week (and be prepared to explain why it is so exciting using chalk board) and another with the tentative research plan for the coming week. Note, the slide on the most exciting result should not contain more than two figures/spectra.
Research paper: due at the end of the 9th week.
Kara, June and Jessica - the first draft is due on July 25th, at 5 pm
Supryia and Josh - the first draft is due Friday, August 1st, 5 pm
Final draft is due on Friday at 5 pm August 1st for Kara, June and Jessica, and August 8 Supryia and Josh.
Summer 2013
Liliya, Michelle and Navin are in France in Jean-Louis Mergny's lab. Supriya is working in working in the laboratory of Dr. Rodger Liddle, Professor of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, and Chief of Gastroenterology, VA Medical Center, Durham, NC. Her project aims to investigate the cellular mechanisms involved in the synthesis and release of signaling molecule, leukotriene B4, from pancreatic acinar cells in response to inflammatory agents known to cause pancreatitis. KJ is working in Brad Johnson's lab on yeast telomeric DNA. Josh is working in Dr. Robert Pasternak's lab on hemin and malaria.
