General information

The effects of a sulfate being attached to an amino acid named tyrosine

Student Name: Harjot Hansra. UCD Department: Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior. UCD Mentor: Grace Rosenquist.

Sometimes an amino acid named tyrosine is attached to a sulfate, or SO3, thus strengthening the binding power of the tyrosine. Through research, it is possible to find out which tyrosines have a sulfate, so we can know which tyrosines are the strongest. With this information, we can hopefully better fight diseases and understand the immune system.
