Presentation Transcript

  1. Envelope Glycoprotein 120 (gp120) in the Presence of Micro-Gravity Presentation by: Bradley Pelham CO-Investigator Samantha yeeCollaborator Dannie zhabilovPrincipal investigator

  2. Background • Envelope Glycoprotein • Structure • Purpose • HIV-1 • Infectious process

  3. Objective To determine the effects of microgravity on the structure of glycoprotein 120 and whether or not the effects, if there are any, have an effect on the purpose of gp120.

  4. Method Design (type 1 FME) Recombinant gp120 Protein folding assay

  5. Theoretical Results The effects of a changed protein structure The effects on the binding of HIV-1 to T-cells

  6. Conclusion Open new doors for HIV-1 treatment New explanation to protein folding
