Science Fair!

Angeline and I have been inspired by the work of Dr. Daniel Durocher and Rongmin Zhao in the protein ubiquitin. Ubiquitin is a protein found in eukaryote cells that signal the protein proteasome to degrade specific proteins.  

Thus our question is how does ubiquitin play a role in cancer, and how can we minimize the effect.  Cancer cells, are cells that are unable to recognize when to stop reproduction.  Thus we believe the malfunction of unbiquitin and proteasome will enhance the oncoproteins, since the proteins will not be properly degraded.
To test our theory we will be injecting different amounts of ubiquitin in tumors to see the effect of ubiquitin.

Independent Variable : Ubiquitin levels
Dependent Variable : number of cancer cells after changing ubiquitin levels
Controlled Variable : cells without additional ubiquitin

Research in ubiquitin and proteasome will help improve the lives of cancer and neurodegenerative patients, since it could lead to better medication and therapy treatments.
