What forms in Step 4 of the citric acid cycle? @peerwise #hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Sullivan @bsullivan1044]

This video would be best utilized in this week's TCA cycle module.

I found this video super helpful for learning the Citric Acid cycle. It does a very good job explaining each step of the cycle as well as showing the reactions and what is happening on a molecular level. https://t.co/zRnfgmB34F #hunterbiochemistry

Which of the following is an example of a biomolecule?

[Brianna Sullivan @bsullivan1044]

My #lightbulbmoment was realizing how the concepts I learned in organic chemistry & general chemistry played a role in biology. Biochemistry has helped me make that connection and have a better understanding of the mechanisms in important biological pathways #hunterbiochemistry

@bbbrianna23 This is a very interesting and relevant protein! One fact I found about it is that it is very similar to the RNA-dependent polymerase found in SARS-CoV, which was a zoonotic coronavirus that spread into the human population in 2002.

Interesting fact: GFP is used in research as a marker molecule. This means it can be attached to molecule to track its movement due to its fluorescence.

The green fluorescent protein is an important tool in biotech. PDBid 1GFL #Hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Sullivan @bsullivan1044]

Amino Acid Length: 238
Main function: Captures and releases photons to produce green fluorescence
Organism: Originally found in the jellyfish Aequorea victoria

@BiochemMadison @bmsnews They actually have over 50 compounds in their pipeline right now. And these cover many different diseases, including a potential therapy for COVID-19!

[Brianna Sullivan @bsullivan1044]

I followed @bmsnews which is a biopharmaceutical company. They develop and manufacture biologics and pharmaceuticals in multiple areas including cancer, HIV/AIDS, and more. Their page shares a lot of interesting updates on their research and new therapies. #hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Sullivan @bsullivan1044]

@FleurFreya @bmsnews I don't know how readily they are on the market, but considering that Bristol Myers Squibb has its own manufacturing plants I would think they can get produced fairly quickly as they don't have to contract an outside company to manufacture.

[Brianna Sullivan @bsullivan1044]

@Ajo1018UNHM @bmsnews They have locations all over the world including two close to us in Massachusetts.

[Brianna Sullivan @bsullivan1044]

@karinaababina @bmsnews Currently they have drugs in all phases of clinical trials. They are involved in taking compounds from research all the way to FDA approval.

[Brianna Sullivan @bsullivan1044]

@VishnuS81839276 @gstuber That sounds like a fascinating area of research! Do you know why he decided to study that?

[Brianna Sullivan @bsullivan1044]

Hi Everyone! My name is Brianna Sullivan and I am a biotechnology senior at UNHM. The areas of research I am interested in are plant biotech, pharmaceuticals and microbiology. #hunterbiochemistry
