the evolution of the program (e.g., the applied learning requirement, etc)? In our initial presentations on the proposed revision, we mentioned several design revisions we considered but did not include. They were: 1) a required minor, 2) an applied learning requirement, 3) a second writing-intensive course, and 4) a second DJS-focused course.

Daniel Amster, Senior Capstone Seminar Botryococcus braunii is a green algae capable of producing botryococcene using squalene synthase-like (SSL) enzymes.
perform directed evolution on these enzymes and yield mutant strains of the enzymes capable of faster botryococcene production requires a selective screen. A previously developed tetrazole compound is able to photoclick onto terminal alkenes and produce a fluorescent adduct. This tetrazole compound was used to develop a selective screen by exposing E. coli hosts to the compound and exposing the cells to UV light to induce the photoclick reaction of the tetrazole compound binding to the terminal alkene
