REU Site: Mountains and Minds: A Program in Chemical Biology

这项由化学和生物科学系颁发的奖项支持蒙大拿州立大学2006-2008年夏季的本科生研究经验(REU)网站。该项目的负责人是玛丽·克隆宁格。每年有十名学生学习以下化学生物学领域的研究：蛋白质组学、蛋白质结构-功能关系、蛋白质-小分子相互作用、蛋白质大分子相互作用、蛋白质翻译后修饰和酶学。参与者将进行为期十周的研究，并参加每周的研讨会和小组会议，以了解化学生物学最先进的仪器和方法。Salish Kotenai学院的部落大学生将可以选择在密歇根州立大学工作整个夏天，或者在夏天的一段时间里回到他们的家乡机构。著名的美洲原住民科学家和其他化学生物学家将被邀请访问密歇根州立大学，作为REU学生的榜样。学生们将写一篇期末论文，并展示一张关于他们暑期研究的海报。

This award by the Chemistry and Biological Sciences Divisions support a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Montana State University for the summers of 2006-2008. The program director is Mary Cloninger. Ten students each year will do research in the following areas of chemical biology: proteomics, protein structure-function relationships, protein-small molecule interactions, protein macromolecule interactions, post-translational modifications of proteins, and enzymology. Participants will conduct ten weeks of research and attend weekly workshops and group meetings to learn about state of the art instrumentation and methods for chemical biology. Tribal college students from Salish Kootenai College will have the option of working for the whole summer at MSU or of returning to their home institution for part of the summer. Prominent Native American scientists and other chemical biologists will be invited to visit MSU to serve as role models for the REU students. Students will write a final paper and present a poster about their summer research.
