Looking Into Food Related TopicsOur goal is to improve cooking skills while studying the chemistry of cooking. Typically we meet weekly or biweekly to cook lunch and to discuss the science behind what we are cooking. We are able to utilize the Monmouth College nutrition lab to provide a number of tools and resources to expand our cooking skills and knowledge. Three Aspiring Chefs have taken interest in cooking lunch and talking science. Past Cooking Activities

Isolation of CRP for Use with Atomic Force MicroscopyThe goal of this research is to isolate the protein cAMP receptor protein (CRP), also known as catabolite activator protein (CAP), to study DNA-protein binding interactions utilizing atomic force microscopy (AFM). The binding force between CRP and its DNA binding sequence will be measured with AFM. This research is led by Professor Laura Moore at Monmouth College (see Faculty Information Page). Current ProgressCurrently, we are working on a mutagenesis to mutate CRP. Mutating CRP will ideally make it more viable for sticking to a gold surface for AFM. The mutation I am working on is T8C. We are having trouble with the mutagenesis and transformation of the plasmid containing CRP into Escherichia coli. Personal InfoEducationMonmouth College
