Dr. Virginia W. Cornish has been awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Cornish received the doctoral degree from the University of California at Berkeley under the supervision of Professor Peter G. Schultz. Dr. Cornish will continue research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the sponsorship of Professor Robert T. Sauer. The postdoctoral research examines the importance of N- and C-cap residues in stabilizing alpha-helices. The work uses genetic selections to isolate proteins with particular residues in the N- and C-cap positions, as well as x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to characterize the three-dimensional structure of the proteins. Understanding is gained into how to design genetic selections so that in addition to engineering proteins with novel catalytic properties, one my use the selections to learn about the requirement for successful catalysis. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry Program is viewed as an important infrastructural program designed to broaden the knowledge and experience of new Ph. D.s and attract them into meaningful careers in contemporary chemical research and teaching.

弗吉尼亚·W·康沃尔（Virginia W. Cornish）博士被授予NSF化学博士后研究奖学金。 康沃尔博士在彼得·舒尔茨（Peter G. Schultz）教授的监督下获得了加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的博士学位。 康沃尔博士将在罗伯特·T·索尔（Robert T. Sauer）教授的赞助下继续在马萨诸塞理工学院继续研究。 博士后研究研究了N-和C-CAP残基在稳定α-螺旋中的重要性。 该作品使用遗传选择来分离N-和C-CAP位置中特定残基的蛋白质，以及X射线晶体学和核磁共振光谱，以表征蛋白质的三维结构。 了解如何设计遗传选择，因此除了具有新颖催化特性的工程蛋白外，我的选择是一种了解成功催化的需求。 博士后研究奖学金的化学研究奖学金被视为一项重要的基础设施计划，旨在扩大新的博士学位的知识和经验，并吸引他们从事当代化学研究和教学中有意义的职业。
