About UConn Structural Biology
The UConn Partnership for Excellence in Structural Biology brings together faculty, staff, and students to form an interactive research and training environment. We have active research programs in the structural analysis of macromolecular assemblies and membrane proteins, computational and experimental methods development, computational modeling, and analysis. Our major facilities include NMR, X-ray crystallography, Proteomics & Metabolomics core facilities as well as the National Center for Analytical Ultracentrifugation. The partnership supports collaborative research projects, interdepartmental graduate training and an annual symposium (NESS).

Regulated Degradation and Protein Quality Control in Bacteria
In bacteria, ATP dependent proteases destroy proteins during normal growth, in response to stressful conditions, and upon rapid changes in protein levels. I will present our group efforts on understanding the regulation of these proteases, how specificity is determined, and the impact of their loss during stress responses
