What? The ERK2 (Extra-cellular regulated kinase 2) E320K (Glutamic Acid to Lysine at position 320) mutation is one of the things I characterized during my graduate work at UTSW in Dallas.
It was discoved in a cancer cell line by a group in Japan. I made the equivalent mutation in rat protein and charcterized its kinase (adding of a phosphate group to other proteins) activity in vitro.
I picked it as the url for my blog because
1) Its different
2.) It has a personal significance (more than a year of my life spent working on it)
3.) It is a published finding I am proud of
