Internet2: Enabling Post-Genomic Technology at Marquette C P F M Chemical Proteomics Facility at Marquette The post-genomic challenge Exploring function across protein families using chemical probes Basic research Applied research • The CPFM is in early stages of development • Projects focus on studies of protein function (applied genomics) • Participants from: - MCW - Marquette (Biology & Chemistry) - UW-Milwaukee (MFBSC) - UW-Madison (NMRFAM) Long term goal: “Science in Service to Society”
The Promise of Genomics: not yet realized … • Potential Benefits: • Better understanding of biology • Pharmacogenomics & personalized medicine • Treatments for currently untreatable disease • Drugs with fewer side effects • Better understanding of toxicology of pollutants Genes => Proteins “The human genome is data not knowledge, and will be useless until we understand what it means.” attributed to Sydney Brenner
C P F M Chemical Proteomics Facility at Marquette The post-genomic challenge Exploring function across protein families using chemical probes What is the Chemical Proteomics Facility at Marquette? Resources (equipment, software) and people With a mission to: • Enable Chemical Proteomic studies of protein-ligand interactions • Facilitate collaboration across departments and institutions • Provide a better understanding of basic biology • Use science to address social needs • Train scientists and entrepreneurs with social conscience S3 = Biotechnology with social conscience: science, business, law and engineering

Internet2: The CPFM as a Collaboratorium I2 Chemistry Biology I2 I2
1) Need High Speed (I2) Connection to MFBSC CPFM Client I2 Viewing of microscopy results at CPFM (imaging)
Fluorescence imaging as a window to: • Zebrafish developmental biology • Drug transport
Estrogen receptor Zebrafish Estrogen Receptors (endocrine disruptor targets) Computationally derived with homology modeling … is a protein targeted by endocrine disruptor pollutants (EPA regulations)
2) Need High Speed (I2) Connection to NMRFAM CPFM Client I2
Teleconference to NMRFAM: what is NMRFAM? Milo Westler, Ph.D. Operations Director NMRFAM
Can use protein structure to design better drugs • And to avoid drug metabolism: • Toxic side effects • Drug/drug interactions Computational Docking for Drug Design (Dock, Autodock, Caveat & Grid) HIV Protease inhibitor
3) Need High Speed (I2) Connection to UTA CPFM Client University of Texas at Austin National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure I2 • Ligand-protein docking • Homology modeling • Chemoinformatic analysis of drug properties IBM Power 4 system Marquette’s Beowulf cluster
