Developing a better understanding of protein folding and unfolding reactions is a significant challenge for structural biology. In a new paper, a team lead by Catherine Royer from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute reports a high-pressure small-angle x-ray scattering study of the model protein CTL9-I98A in solution, which allows direct observation of the pressure-induced unfolded state.

The Graduate Student School Outreach Program, GRASSHOPR, pairs Cornell graduate students with teachers across neighboring counties. The students visit the schools and teach courses on topics related to their fields of interest. The K-12 students are able to experience new mentors that are eager to share their knowledge, while the graduate students and teachers benefit from exchanging ideas as they dev
The information gained at the beamline can help model existing materials, while also helping to tailor new materials to better withstand harsh conditions.
