Communication is important for our bodies to function properly, especially at the cellular level. Our bodies utilize enzymes - specific proteins that catalyze chemical reactions - to effectively and quickly communicate many different kinds of messages. PKCdelta is an enzyme that has been implicated in membrane transport, as well as the formation of bile in the liver. Any misregulation of PKCdelta can lead to cholestasis and liver injury. Utilizing a coupled assay, we will determine the enzymatic activity of PKCdelta as it phosphorylates ATP using the UV spectrophotometer. After we have established the standard curve, we will determine the peak …

Science and art share a common creative process. Both require skills such as abstract thinking, attention to detail, repetition, creative problem-solving to name just a few. It is important to offer students an opportunity to experience creativity in a science setting. Arts integration in STEM (STEAM) is an exciting, engaging way to bring creativity and curiosity to science learning. This curriculum is based on a case study of how research scientists "use" creativity in their work. This curriculum asks students to identify the big science ideas and use them as art prompts in written and visual art work.
